Picketing
While I have serious reservations about the leadership of our union, I believe we need to turn out for the picketing. Yes, I know, some of you will be surprised at that, but there it is. I have been asking FO's recently, and all of them said they were not attending for various reasons, some lame, some not. This was very disappointing to me, as the younger crowd has the most to gain, or lose. If I can spend extra time in MEM that could have been spent at home with my family, so can they. So, I'll be there, but I am concerned about a low turnout.
I would like to encourage everyone on this board to attend the picketing. If you don't attend, you can't complain if we get a bad TA.
I'll be there. Will you?

I won't be there for the MEC, I'll be there for the pilot to my left and the pilot to my right.

I'm going too.
I'm going to remind myself which team I'm on. My team is not perfect but they are honorable, hard-working professionals.
The other team is doesn't care about you, your family, or your retirement. Their only concern is profits and stock price.
Put on the lanyard, pick up a sign, stand with your brothers and sisters and be reminded which team you're on.
We need YOU!
