Ladies and gentlemen- we SHOWED the BASTARDS today! I am proud of the Alpa showing. But what really tugs at my heart? The 50 or so APA guys from American Airlines! THOSE GUYS have the right idea! I was the lone Fedex representative today [and PROUD!], but the fact that 50 some-odd guys from another union showed up? THAT is REAL solidarity!
My name is Norm. I'll do what I can in the future for any of you!
N!
I was walking yesterday with Delta, Continental, US airways, United, and ExpressJet pilots in ACY. In a small base where we have about 60 pilots only. We ended up with about 1/3 of the picketers from other airlines. I mean even ExpressJet is 4x the size of Spirit. Not to mention the other ones.
It is one thing reading about unions at a board like this, and it is a whole another thing to walk with some white hair guys in the 80F heat for 2 hours...
Thank you!!!
