We’re the ones who will be here long term - so we’re the ones who will suffer if we make our company worse again. I don’t see the long term win in punishing our customers and ourselves in the long game. So my real question, probably for the MEC too, is how do we not injure ourselves and yet bring this insanity and poor leadership to account? Is it even possible? What matters to them but not to our long term customers?

Even the furloughed pilots weren't here voting on this stuff and/or weren't on property when the US Air threat happened.

The surefire winners posts will have "Eff management, they don't respect me" combined with "Eff ALPA, they don't respect me" topped off with a dose of "Eff me, I don't respect myself for all the previous contracts that got voted in".

That about cover it? We s seem to be getting a coalition of strange bedfellows, who's sole common theme is a pizzed off attitude.:D

Hats off + a new lanyard is the best first step.

1. It’s legal and RLA-compliant.
2. It has no adverse effect on our customers. They don’t care as long as we fly from point A to point B safely and on time.
3. It gets under management’s skin (see PB’s emotional tantrum over hats during an upgrade class visit last year).
4. There is absolutely nothing that management can do about it when adopted by >90% of the pilot group.

which simply means they’ll fall on their faces 10 times harder than we did when we were kids.
sad to see, but technology really kills the buzz.

when they fly through hail they blame the training department, when the lock the brakes they blame their shoes.
it’s cute and I hope it protects their licenses.
