That's exactly right. Pilots will come to these message boards, writing the biggest insulting words they could find and then when they go to work will tell their peers how bold and destructive they are going to be and how they are not going to take it anymore and from now on a new era will start.

And then.... a lowly gate agent will come down the jet bridge and say, oh no jumpseaters..... The door will get closed and once again the airline will have it their way.

Or some other day, we will be waiting on the curb for 20-40 minutes for the shuttle van and pilots will be syaing to the FA how this is not in the contract and we should all be taking cabs and expensing it to the company, but once again everyone will be a coward and nothing will be done and we will sit there with a thumb up our a**.

So is the life of labor. They call it "labor" for a reason.
