Default Operation Orange?

Was given a slip of paper today in MIA by an AA pilot with this website. Has anyone else heard of this? Doubt it'll go anywhere but an interesting thought.

if you read through most of the documents under the "pilots" tab you should get a pretty good idea of what to do.

Saw this in LAS a few months ago. An American guy was passing out leaflets on in.

This is the stupidest thing I have seen on here in awhile on so many levels I don't even know where to begin.

Care to expound? While the cloak and dagger stuff is a bit squirrely, I couldn't argue with much in the narrative. How we got here, the assessment of the unions and the government, etc. seemed about right to me.

It's too bad that it may not be taken seriously because of the cloak and dagger angle. At least these guys are trying to do something while most pilots slowly circle the drain, resigned to our fates.

Let’s set the clock back few years.

Was it really a coincidence how the majors, at the same time, terminated their retirement plans, and cut pay and benefits?

Imagine if all pilots from every airline round the county formed one national union or association. Also imagine if all pilots of this “imaginary single national union” got wind of the erosion of pay, benefits, terms and conditions. Would the turn of events have been different if every pilot who was a member of this imaginary national union told their employers to go $hit in their hats at the suggestion of pay and benefit cuts?

With that being said, would this AA pilot be handing out leaflets?
