Carl,
Unless you were on the 9 or 320 you did not do squat. They and they alone got us the improvements. The wide body pilots did nothing because other than a pay cut their lives were not affected(good hotels, crew meals, laundry etc.) Btw for the record I was a 747 FO at the time.

The sad part about the management apologists is that they do so with a deep seated hope of someday being invited into "the room." Management knows this, and they also know that there is no way they'll ever really accept a union goon into "the room." It's kind of perverted, but I've seen this many times: management may outwardly hate those that confront them, but they do respect them. Management deeply disrespects those that blindly follow the talking points that they themselves don't even believe.
