Your name calling and pigeon holing is telling. They are not riding anger, they are organizing what many, many pilots already believe. You may not agree, but your belittling reminds me of the criticism that the Tea Party is going through.
I don't believe they are afraid of threats. It's just smart businesss to keep your enemies (ALPA old guard) guessing. It's the message that matters right now, not the people. The pilots will elect the people...nobody will be installing themselves.

I'll bet nobody disagrees that there aren't a huge number of "slippery career politicians" at national.
