I was just telling this to someone today after I sneaked into the van that went to the airport to avoid further burns by not going to picket again at Griffin. Then later for the last 30 mins they shipped my ass over to Griffin road anyways. 95F in my car by 1:30PM. My nose looks like a red FIRE EXTNG pushbutton. "God bless"
the guy who made this decision to put the picketing to 4PM.
By the way the turnout at Griffin road (FLL) was awesome today. I heard 150-160 in the brutal heat walking the line. Again guys from Comair, Gulfstream, Conti, AmeriJet, Air Tran, Delta, United, Atlas and others... along with us and our FAs. Like 20-30 FAs at least. I was trying to memorize some faces. I will definitely be there walking with them when their time comes. We are just getting warmed up folks!
Someone above asked where we meet in FLL. I guess starting Wednesday, 4PM briefing in the Sheraton that is right south of the field on Griffin Road. Refreshment, coffee and snacks are available. See you there!
