The conflict dynamic is limited only by the imagination, if we allow ourselves to focus on areas that are easily tracked and quantified we are doomed to lose. We are even more doomed to lose if we limit ourselves to tactics that are legal. The laws are written by politicians who are bought and paid for by the corporations and anything that really works has been outlawed a long time ago. Kudos to the UAL guys who at least tried something even if it got whacked a bit by a court..at least they tried.
Kudos to the pilots who tried something? You must be insane!! Do you know what this did for our bargaining power? This was law breaking! Does that mean anything to you? I'll bet you haven't even read the injunction! Am I right?
Wake up! Get in the game!
