I never once commented either way on how he has handled things since "the day" it happened. However, as with anything, sometimes it takes one person to stand up and say, "Enough is enough." I give him credit for taking a stand for our civil liberties. At least the media exposure resulted in some movement for crew members.

Isn't it funny how the Big Jet drivers are always so friendly and nice to us little jet drivers when they need a jump seat or ride to get to where they are going? But when they get off of our little jets all safe and sound at there destination, all bets are off! Just an observation.

Just sent my $50.00. Everyone who doesn't pony up should be ashamed of themselves.

I found the difference between the posts on this side of the forum and the regional side of the forum quite evident. I think, to a man, everyone on that side said, "Thanks...sent my money." On this side it was, "Wrong time to pick a fight" and such.

Why not call for all nationwide pilot unions to set up a picket line in front of the Jet Express Check-In Counters with signs demanding that Mike be restored no only to the jet, but to full equity by imbursement of back pay and benefits. Don’t you think that’s a good compromise?
