Adolphus, I just not following you. Are you saying that only those people that have a particular skill set should be allowed to organize? What is that skill set and who defines it? Do our flight attendants not have a skill set that would meet your criteria? In the last 4 weeks, my flight attendants have handled 5 medical emergencies, one of which required a divert with the near loss of a passenger and 2 other flights with drunks. One of which was close to getting physical, but our FA's talked him down and handled the situation in a text book style. I'm not sure that the crew down at Chili's could handle the many issues that the FA's deal with day to day. I won't even get started on the security issues they face.

I appreciate the job that our FA's do. If they decide it's in their best interest to organize, I'll support them.
