Our professionalism is what kills us all in this job. I would like to think that most of us dont do things intentionally to ruin operations and the likes. MGT plays this angle against us, because they know most of us will still show up and do our jobs. With every right comes a level of resposibilty. Our right is to fly these aircraft, and the resposibility that comes with it is to operate them safely and to the best of our ability. Remember that we choose to come to work everyday, and we have a right to show up to work or not to. It is the right that you have bestowed on your union to represent you, and it is their resposibility to do so. It is your right to decide who represents you, and it is your responsibility to ensure that they represent you in a proper manner. If they fail to do so, then it is your responsiblity to make the sacrifices necessary to create an envirornment that will work for you as a whole. It is through this resposibility that you will face certain consequences that you will and others will face due to your actions and decisions, some of which may be popular, and some may not. You entered this career as a professional, and god willing we will all leave this profession as such. Harming the very people (passengers) that make you job necessary may well be the course of action that we all someday may face, but remember that managment always has an out, and we as pilots may not. Dont cut your nose off to spite your face. Dig your heels in and do you job, check your pride at the door, and go home to you family when the day is over, remember that it is your airline, and tommorow is a new opportunity to improve on today, tommorow is new day:,)
