He's not saying anything I wouldn't say to the face of a chief pilot, or EB himself. The Rules of the Road tells me they actually want to hear from me. Anyone who thinks that his sentiment is unacceptable by labor law, or even company policy is severely mistaken. We just can't orchestrate action as a group, that's it. Each and every Delta pilot has the right to behave legally in accordance with the PWA...AND talk about it on a "hilariously well tracked" internet forum.

Listen up and you'll never hear anything more accurate. Alpa is for many of us, above all, a volunteering group. A group where smart and/or hard working pilots work together long hours to fix the world around them and help their pilots, and protect them from stupid and apathetic middle-and sometimes top- management. This is where these warnings come from.
There are also politicians in alpa who work only for themselves and who are a cancer and a curse. They are filthy rats who sniff around for flight loss pay and mooch and spend and carry on and do nothing. Since politicians are a blight they can't even stand other politicians and they fight and fight and throw feces at each other. That's where fights about which contract is better and what is enough. Those are the lesser of two evils which suck up so much time and brainpower.
Angry pilots say angry things, and it makes other pilots feel angry and join them, and before long the company managers feel under attack and they go after those pilots. Courts have historically had no patience for illegal job actions, none. Not every pilot gets punished, but God when it comes down it is awful. Take the warnings for what they are, concern. No one is saying shut up, we're trying to say, oh God please careful. Some of the pilots on this web board are too tough to ever heed a warning. Men among men. The rest of us Meer mortals must be careful and I would hope you can at least understand if not sympathize.

Do a little search of the history of these types of comments regarding lawsuits and injunctions. Then go talk to a “49er.” One of them may give you a different perspective.......from the actual experience.

No. You cannot. If you brag about violating status quo, the company can sue the union and, believe it or not, can get APC to track your IP address. These forums AREN'T anonymous.
What's funny is guys are terrified about workplace and their iPad camera but aren't paranoid enough to know that everything you say online is tracked by someone.
