Guys seriously cut him a break....its a public forum for God's Sake.....I would imagine that when the time is right, everything will be posted in a professional and gramatically correct manor.

I absolutely believe that something needs to be done. I also think there are quite a few people that are content with their current quality of life and dont wanna make waves.

I DO NOT think that waging a sickout will have Airline Big Wigs calling on the thousands of furloughed pilots to help save the day....thats just ignorant. A sickout would only be for a few days. The airlines couldnt possibly bring guys through crash courses on their FOM's/FCM's and then check them out in a few days time.

I think something like this would be a wakeup call....Readytogo makes a good point...back in the day if the Teamsters Milk Truck Drivers in NY were ****ed about something EVERYONE STRUCK.

IMHO ALPA can't work as an they should because we are not unified...too many Non-Union's and In-House Unions out there. Not to mention this absurd piece of Paper (RLA) from the 1930's has a lot to do with it as well.

You guys realize that some of the best places to work in this industry are Non-ALPA right ?? Southwest, Jetblue, UPS, American, SkyWest???

I know a lot of you are content but I sure as hell didnt come into this industry planning to make crap money my entire life.....I was willing to do it my first year because I knew it would get better...now here I am starting year 4 salary FO...still making crap money....no upgrade in sight and I have one of the BEST contracts in the Industry.

Did most of you guys come into this Industry saying "Man...250K a year to be an Airline Captain would be awesome...but then again 40-80K isnt so bad either, i'll settle for that." I know I didnt.

ReadyToGo you have my support
