I just don't want to see our happy FAs become a bitter group because some union smuck is telling them that management sucks and that they deserve better.

I am definitely a suporter for the FA's, but this is true. Please please make sure you have the right representing body for yourselves. Although I consider myself a STRONG union supporter I would be leery of an organization that tries to pit the work force against management. I am NOT saying that this is what unions do, I know of several work groups that report an excellent relationship with management and this should be the goal of all unions. Don't repeat another NW AMFA scene and let them convince you that management is evil. I believe that there is inherent respect that is due to all management, after all for the most part those people have the ability to fulfill those responsibilities. Now with that said, I believe you should get what is fair for quality of life, and to protect the labor force from outsourcing because of people like RA at Delta who get $13.2 million in compensation. Specifically I'm referring to the CBA that AMFA brought and allowed MW mtc to be outsourced and how MGT had a big party when that happened and went right to work on the outsourcing. I wonder how happy upper management would be if their jobs got outsourced to managers in India. If you run into those "pull up a ladder" types don't forget that all it takes is to knock out ONE of the four points and they all come tumbling down. Keep up your good work.
