There has been very little Union Communication on this other than you guys were released and went on strike yesterday.
APC, in my opinion, is not where Pilots should be hearing of a Pilot Strike.
That being said, I am behind AmeriJet Pilots efforts to negotiate a fair an equitable contract. Godspeed to all of you! You certainly have my support.

so far 11 scabs, they were received by a very enthusiastic group of AJT pilots on strike when they got to customs at KMIA. Others were confronted as they parked their cars at what they tought was a secret location. The rest boarded a chattered learjet at signature aviation KMIA to pick up a stranded aircraft. Names are being taken and will be available for all to see very soonnnnnn.
