And $5B Stock buybacks. They could be paying the pilots but would rather pay the stock holders and C Suite managers pockets.

They will start paying us pilots when we start demanding they do. 50 dudes showing up to wall street isn't going to cut it boys.

Not asking for self help at this point is the equivalent of rolling over and dying with the non-unionized employee groups. Might as well stand, fight, and die on the battlefield now.

We should have been pushing for self help in 2021/2022 when profits were high. Instead we were letting PM run a concession stand.

Tell me you don't know how the RLA works without telling me you don't know how the RLA works.

NOQ is working pretty good for the Block 5 rep. Sits on his a$$ and gets paid after doing some unbelievably stupid $hit. I think I get it, I just haven't been applying it correctly. "Plzdontfireme"....wait, are YOU the block 5 rep?

Unbelievably stupid $hit? Wouldn't that get him fired or at least NQNed? Something doesn't add up here....

I am not the block 5 rep, tho I sure wish I was that much of a bada$$ and I also wish I was getting paid to be home instead of hub turning.

This is some naive $h!t. Nobody at Wall Street cares about our pickets - nobody. Wall Street just rewarded the execs with their biggest stock uptick in a long time -- as we picketed! On the tone-deaf Ivy League Wall Street stupidity front, FDX won an award yesterday for their superior corporate ethics. Pickets ain't the answer.

If Cramer is pumping you then the end really is near.
