UNITY is our strongest asset!!! If we don't stand strong next thing you know all companies will file lawsuits against pilot groups for "excessive sick calls"...you know if I don't feel good...I don't fly!!! PERIOD!!!
I am sick and tired of being sick and tired!!! UNITY...lets support our United Pilot Group on this one because...I can see that this will get ugly later on for all of us!!!
Allow me to point out the following at this juncture:
Without the ramp, the airplanes don't fly.
Without flight attendants, the airplanes don't fly.
Without mechanics, airplanes might fly, but they sure won't fly very well.
Without customer service and agents, the airplanes might fly, but there'd be no passengers ( = no revenue).
(*cue "This Bud's For You" music*)
And so forth. (We even need management. Maybe not the
current management, but some form of management.)
Moving an airliner is a team effort. I wish that the hardliners on ALL sides would stop hardlining and refocus on the core business, which is moving people from A to B faster than they can drive.
