Hossman,

Not fantasizing about any UA pilots. Just a reality check. You can be angry and upset about many things, but this is just creating something to give you angst. We ALL want a contract but don't get give yourself undue stress in your life by creating things to be upset about.

Pilots have always been good at separating the distractions from the cockpit and most of the good pilots I have flown with could have their wife AND girlfriend in the back of the plane and still fly like a champ. Seems today's aviator is more prone to acting childish and like a cry baby.

We need to put our big boy britches on, be adults that don't wear our sensitivity on our sleeve and move on. The noise I heard in ops yesterday about the mailing address on the new ID's was absurd. It is a piece of plastic for crying out loud. Who cares if it is mailed to Houston or Chicago if it is lost? That is what people are going to spin themselves up over, a mailing address? We are doomed if that is the case.
