It's sad that my use of the term "moron" has drawn away from the message I was trying to convey.

My apologies to those offended. As you can clearly see:

I was only calling those of the non-voting 85% that are apathetic, morons.

The rest of those that didn't vote due to some other reason, are just indolent rocket surgeons.

It must be nice to live in a world in which a few minor union members actually control your future.

Unicorns and skittles for all! Keep up the good work, the more often you refer to your fellows as morons, the greater the respect you will garner for your ideas.

First of all, I don't care if the company cares who holds our union's positions. Their view on WHO, is irrelevant. What is relevant though, is their view on "HOW". As in, how did our leaders get to their position? Were they elected by a concerned, solid and engaged group? Or, were they elected by a group that appear so indifferent, that our leaders are elected with 8% of the possible votes?

The BLK 3 rep at FDX represents, and thus votes, for about 14% of our total pilot group. I wouldn't consider that a minor union position.

This may come as a shock, but your future is influenced mostly by factors outside your company and outside your union. I doubt those you refer to as morons are as blind to this as you seem to be, and I would bet those you refer to as morons are more fully engaged in more important actions.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us though.

Who would take a discussion of union busines on an anonymous public board seriously?

The fact that you would call a group of your peers, not knowing any of their individual situations, a derogatory term (moron) out of emotion, only shows us how immature and psychologically young you are. Worry about the guy in the mirror.....that is the only guy you have the power to change. Good luck.

Gosh, thanks, doctor. I took a long look in the mirror at myself this morning and you know what? This is what I found:

"I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, people like me."

You know what they say ...

"People that live in glass heads shouldn't get stoned!"

Or ... something like that?
