Wow. I think I must clarify what I mean. I definitely want us to be compensated as best we can be. I certainly want as much money in my pocket as I can get, especially with the company making as much money as it is. I am not "anti-union" by any means, I fully support our unions efforts and our pilot group. My whole point is that wearing a lanyard isn't going to solve any problems. And it certainly isn't anyone's business if I wear a lanyard or not. Also, it's no ones business if I start the APU or single engine taxi, that's my decision. However, I do support our efforts and hope that we do secure a great contract. Although, I don't think we will get a contract that is terrifically better than our peers, I think it will be along the lines of what our peers have now. If I'm wrong, then that's great, I'd love to be pleasantly surprised by the outcome of these negotiations. No, I won't be picketing on the 19th, because, just as with the lanyard, I don't think it is really going to help the situation.

The union has asked us to wear the lanyard and attend picketing on the 19th. If you "fully support our unions efforts and pilot group", why can't you be bothered to actually participate in the process when called upon? ALPA has been negotiating contracts for a long time and these steps have been proven beneficial. Please expand on what you believe we should do to help our situation.
Indifference within our group is a much bigger problem for us than management shenanigans...

There's always a few in these deals that have no problem riding on the backs of others.

I REALLY would like to know who you are! The union asks for solidarity reasons for the entire pilot group to where them and you are arguing against it. You must be one of those Super Captains trying to save the airline. You are a complete TOOL!
