There will always be guys who rationalize owning something TRULY CRAP by claiming it's better than NOTHING!

I once had someone try to give me a free t shirt at a 10k race and it had all kinds of logos all over it and was very poorly made. Yeah, it was free but it had no value so I didn't take one. There were tons of people trying to get extras to take home but for what? Do you really need ten free garbage t shirts from one of these events? I didn't even want one. Yes it might be free or even cheap but it has no value.

A new low. Bluejet pilots compare themselves to Twinkie makers. Have some pride man, we don't make Twinkies but you are a Ding Dong.

It's embarrassing isn't it. This unfortunate individual doesn't know how stupid he appears. This is a Major Airline Pilot forum. And, this guy is trying to defend sub par benefits by reminding us how bad laid off blue collar twinkly makers have it.

Mgmt must love him while his peers hate his kind for degrading the profession.

Yep, I wonder how many other pilot groups compare themselves to Twinkie makers? I bet I know the aswer.

Well, many of us try to offer the perspective daily and got involved in one or both union drives. We are commited to a CBA and an end to managment malfeasance. At the end of the day, the JB hiring model proved effective by having more pilots vote against the union than for it. The vote was closer last time - and perhaps the tipping point is here.

You can talk until you are blue in the face, but it often comes down to management making enough mistakes that even the colossally stubborn start revisiting their position. On the other hand there is no guarantee that recognition of the true "relationship" will ever unify enough of the group to move to a more balanced arena.

Incorrect. I have several crap t-shirts from my former employer, and they make excellent cleaning rags. Nothing like cleaning toilets with a "Simply the Best" t-shirt.....

Dont forget the travel mug we got for Christmas or whatever it was around 2010 or so.

hold up there, you are comparing jb healthcare to a t shirt that you turn into a cleaning rag? I think I have heard it all now. Have a little respect for yourself and fellow aviators.

I helped my father-in-law work on his septic tank in my "simply the best" (pinnacle) T-shirt. Worked great. Other pinnacle t-shirts are great for painting, landscaping, wiping your pinnacle....
