You can make a FB acct and do nothing but join JF, I'm not sure what the pushback is. That's what I've done, in fact, I think I used one of my burner emails to do it.

Get a burner email, join FB, find another Fedex dude to suggest you as a member, sift through the info and become enlightened!
Facebook sucks. So does Mark Z. I’ve set up a Jetfl1er$ page on Tik Tok. Come join. Just need your SSN, bank account, address and home alarm codes to join.

Yes, BLOB, FBook sucks. Kind of what i was getting at. But the info on JF does not, so perhaps try to look past the Zuck loathe and get in there.

I'll get the info for the TikTok JF to you right away.

You mean the nuggets like guys advocating illegal job actions during section 6 negotiations that provide ample evidence to get our union sued into oblivion?

Uber Eats and hotel food, and chicken salad/sandwich on domestic catering is what it all is. And if one more person tells me "we're all in this together".........
Yeah, it sucks.

There's also a thread on here for people thinking about commiting suicide as their careers are imploding at the pax carriers. I for one am incredibly grateful to have an amazing job, that has some less than fun overnights for a little while.

Get a couple of books, learn a new language, etc. In the scheme of things, what most of us at this company are going through right now is very trivial to most people in the world right now.

I agree, this is peanuts compared to what my grandparents have been through. Same group that considers me a snowflake for calling them out on the classless use of the term “Kung Flu” can’t handle an inconvenience of social responsibility until we get a vaccine deployed. We are all Americans, we all want the best for each other and our country. Lets quit treating each other like the enemy. I am very grateful to have this job, and it’s inconveniences are one heck of a good problem to have right now.

JF is a cesspool of the same 15-20 guys crying a river on everything. 6 of them are part of the notorious HKG dozen. Then you have the recently retired constant posters who have no life so they troll it every day. Its honestly the most laughable atrocity this pilot group partakes in. If I was management this would make me laugh and lick my choops for negotiations. I will get my info from official sources not blowhards. I enjoy reading it so I can laugh at these specific individuals as I walk by them in the AOC. As someone posted above it will most definitely get people fired and our pilot group sued during negotiations. Mark my word.

I sure hope these clowns aren’t on the 777. That would be the trip from h e l l , not to mention a VERY tense cockpit.
