3% to help Japan
It is truly horrible what the great Japanese people are going through now. My heart goes out to the families who lost loved ones or do not have a home to go back to (or an entire village). In a time when us FedEx pilots are considering a measly 3% raise over the benefits of a full and complete contract I say we pledge to help those poor people in Japan.
I am going to donate 3% of my next months pay to Japan relief efforts and I would request everyone help any way that you can. I know this is not very much money individually (in my case a few hundred bucks) but if we all chip in then it would amount to a lot of money.
If you haven't watched the horrible footage coming out of Japan then get off of APC, turn on the tv news or google Japan. Watch for 10 minutes and you'll see why it is more important right now to give than to receive.

Not sure how I got the "sticky thread" on here but thanks. I'm assuming that's what is keeping this at the top. Things looking worse every day for the Japanese as new reports are shown. Let's hope they get control of that nuke plant!
FYI, just made my first donation and after some research found that "AmeriCares" uses 99% of money raised to help the people as opposed to only 92% via American Red Cross.
