Good showing
Wish the rally had started earlier. Two o' clock meant those of us that needed to fly out had to leave just as it was getting started. I believe the turnout was a big relief to D. Webb and team. Attaboy to the MEM families who took the time, brought their families (did see a bunch of bored teenagers in the foyer) and showed their support for their union's leadership. let hope it translates into progress.

Not too shabby from a 4700ish pilot group where at any one time 2000 folks are working and another 550 are either just staring to go or have just finished up.................................

everyone needs to perform just 100% until we get a contract...........................

... every other ALPA Committee "worker bee" got a fresh shot of adrenaline when that many pilots, spouses, kids and friends came out of the woodwork to shout,"TWO YEARS IS LONG ENOUGH ... FEDEX HAS FAILED TO DELIVER ... WE'RE READY FOR THE CONTRACT WE'VE EARNED!"

I've made my choice: No draft, no volunteer, no vacation buy-back, no more and no less than 100.0% until we have a new contract!!BZ to the rally attendees and organizers!
