Ellen I agree with you but I bet you Congress cannot take action if for 2 days all the pilots call in SICK.

How about Pilots just Quitting all togeher, I think we are seeing more and more people leave the Profession, and I am just speaking from my Gut that eventually things will get better and management will listen....

I agree with you. Congress is terrible for getting things done. Except for the Patriot Act, which basically gave all our civil liberties away. They sure were quick with that. However, when it becomes election time, it's miraculous to watch what gets voted through.

If two days is too short, maybe all pilots should take a week off to help fight Fatigue Recuperation Syndrome (FRS).

Then we can get the Drug Companies to make a pill that will help prevent FRS. . . then the airlines can get Congress to mandate that all airline pilots have to take the pill once a day at the Government's expense with the daily dose cost of $100. Passengers can then feel safe, pilots will feel better rested, the airlines will get higher production out of their pilots and the Drug companies will get rich . . all while the pilots will experience the side effects of premature death before age 60, thus contributing to the pilot shortage.

Quitting and finding other employment would probably work too.

I guess it just happened. They did open a base. Jetjock mentioned that he received a company email yesterday . . .
