I think it is obvious now that they are not calling pilots because of intimidation and keeping morale down.
I like that picketing is starting again because I don't see recalls until this negotiations is over. Can furloughed guys join the walk? I sure have time. I guess since I can't be in a uniform I bet TSA would not want me to dress as a 121 pilot on a federal airport, I think I will show up pale, 10 lbs lighter (in my dreams

), with an IV in my arm, and a "Help! Furloughed Spirit pilot starving!" sign and a coin cup. You guys can roll me around in a wheelchair. Deal?
Would be funny as he11! E-mail Paul H. and the Furlough Rep ASAP and see if they can get some ALPA polo shirts and baseball caps for you and our other furloughed friends. I'm sure they can manage to get some from ALPA National...
