The only report in favor of the pilots and AA's workforce, ED on MSNBC, and WE the pilots shoot the guy....

Did somebody mention that we are our worst enemy?

I am shocked that someone in the media actually got it correct. I hope he is wrong, but I have a feeling he is right.
won't find this kind of "Fair and Balance" reporting on Fox I'll bet...

Says the guy from Texas ... HAHA ... Thank god Republicans and the fascist right wing love us pilots and our unions.

Republican bill would delay unionizing - Yahoo! Finance

How can you not see that the right wing hates Workers and the middle class? They prove it day in and day out .. Wisconsin is another recent example.

Hail the 1%

There are countries that are broke because of ultra-liberal policies (Greece, Italy, etc) and countries that are broke because of ultra-conservative policies (Somalia, Afghanistan, etc). The USA isn't like any of those countries. Democrats aren't socialists and Republicans aren't fascists. The ultra-rhetoric isn't helping anybody.

Its funny to see us interact with each other.

In general pilots DO like our unions, but hate everything they/we stand for.

Love to talk about being Republican/conservative, and shout to the scumbags that walk away from the CEO office with bonuses and parachutes and expect them to share the wealth.

We identified ourselves with the wealthy, and hope for unions to represent us as middle class WORKERS.

We Idolized FOX NEWS as being our voice, and refuse to see the other side of the coin.

Maybe its time to realized that, we are MIDDLE CLASS and ALMOST BLUE COLLAR. It isn't the good old years anymore.

People like you, contribute to the continued degradation of our industry. "I'm not even going to waste my time watching..." a news story relating to your career? because it aired on MSNBC? BTW, you can't use a corporate tag line as a description of a networks journalistic value. If you don't understand why, let me give you a few examples so that you may grasp how ridiculous you sound.

I drive a Lexus, because: "I believe in the relentless pursuit of perfection".
I use L'Oreal: "Because I'm worth it"
I like Lucky Charms: "Because they are magically delicious"
I bank at Bank of America because: "It's the bank of opportunity"

You know what AIG's tagline was? "Strength".

On a side note, if someone suggested that I watch a "news story" on FOX covering the airline industry (which I believe is the equivalent of staring at Lake Loch Ness hoping to see the monster) I would, because having an open mind is necessary for becoming informed. Being informed, particularly about the airline industry, is what we all as pilots have an obligation to.

Now matter how hard you try to wish it away, you are, and will be (unless by a stroke of genius start your own hedge fund) a blue collar union worker. Your management doesn't care about you and your family, the only benefits and pay your receive is what your "left wing, liberal commie, garbage UNION" negotiated on your ignorant behalf. You should have chosen a different career path if you have such strong feelings about MSNBC and unions.

Well said, expect it to go in one ear and out the other .. unfortunately.
