No angle, and I don't use words like "we will", implying that "I" am a 121 pilot. I use it referring to you all. Speaking in the third person, if that is the correct term. I am a pilot, by the way, just don't do it for a living.

I am all for you guys getting a new contract, and I am all for you guys sticking it to management. I just think you guys need to be careful how you do it. Let the media get a hold of the fact that flights are being delayed, for job actions, while pilots are in negotiations, and flights with maintenance problems, that were once not such a big deal, are suddenly being delayed, and cancelled. The media will certainly spin that, and it most likely will not be in the pilots favor. "You mean, they were flying these planes, with the problems, before?" The media will not hesitate to put pilots in the spotlight, and not in such a good way.

Remeber that this is a public message board. Anybody can join. Anybody can read through the threads. Be careful what you say, and how you say it. Also, some of you need to not take these boards so seriously. As human beings, we are all going to have different opinions, and we are welcome to them. While I am being jumped on, it was a 121 pilots who first brought up that it isn't right to delay flights. I'd be willing to bet, he/she isn't the only one who believes that.
