Fdx-hats
In another venue it was suggested that hats would be a good way to indicate support of our NC.
Should be possible even for the group of folks who choose non-ALPA lanyards |
Anybody needs a tinfoil hat can PM me. I still have the one left behind by our old friend, Guy Cobb, who is as famous as Runway 27.

The balance of the conversation revealed that he was unhappy with ALPA - THEM - and would only wear an ALPA lanyard if ALPA - THEY - delivered a contract worthy of his approval.No. Why do you wear the Marine Corps lanyard instead of an ALPA lanyard. I'm a Marine. But you just said you're not in the Marine Corps. Um, but, you're always a Marine, I mean, once a Marine ... Are you not in ALPA? Yes. Then why aren't you wearing an ALPA lanyard? I've got a beef with them ... I tried to explain that WE are ALPA ... ... that we show our support for [the Marine Corps, the Braves, the Eagles, or Civilians] by wearing a lanyard. ... that the Negotiating Committee asked us to show our support for them and the Negotiating Process by wearing an ALPA lanyard. ... that The Company watches every thing we do, and they see what lanyards are worn in the crew rooms. ... that the Negotiating Committee has no power save that which is supplied by a unified pilot force standing behind them. ... that it is a very disheartening experience for the Negotiating Committee, who has asked us to display our support with such a simple gesture, to walk into the crew room only to see such a rainbow of lanyards. I've got a hat to wear, and a hat to lend. I'm ready. But are WE? . |
I recently flew with a Captain who also "had a beef" with ALPA. He felt that ALPA had not fully supported him in a situation he had with management.
Funny, though, he had been wearing his ALPA lanyard before our conversation, and continued wearing it after as well - in spite of the "beef" he had with ALPA. I guess some of us are trainable. :) |
I worked long and hard to become a major airline pilot. I'm proud of the path I took to get here, but I'm here now. I don't advertise what second-string, B-team I worked for at some previous time that got me here.
I'm proud of the legacy that ALPA has in ensuring our safety. Have any of you wearing a non-ALPA lanyard ever read Flying the Line? The only signal I get from a guy wearing a non-ALPA lanyard is that they don't get it and they don't care. |
I saw a guy wearing 2 lanyards last week; ALPA and USMC! Gave him the thumbs up.
