Normann...Yes, in fact, I did miss church this last Sunday but that's not the point I'm trying to make. Miss California was the topic of the sermon by-the-way. There is no need for insults.

It's my opinion that union business should be conducted in a professional manner, due to all the negative stereotypes associated with union "activity." I don't think i'm alone in this view.

Now, AFTER THE MEETING, I have no problem with having a beer or two in a social setting. Those that know me know that I would be the FIRST ONE to buy everyone a round of drinks celebrating our display of unity. Its good news and I'm not trying to spoil anyone's parade.

My message remains the same. Don't give the company any reason to go after you. Do those revisions, check the read-file, do the walk-around without yacking on your cell phone, fly the aircraft the way you're suppose to fly it, etc. Act like a PROFESSIONAL, recognize that you have a CAREER, and that you've worked hard to get to this point.

Then, and only then, we will be RECOGNIZED as professionals and get a good contract.
