Someone needs to stand up for this profession. Is a democratic white house the answer?
-sick of paycheck to paycheck.

Just out of morbid curiosity, What changes occurred during the Clinton administration's reign?
I don't want Hilary in the White House, but if the pendulum theory holds true I hope we can go with the lesser of two evils (Barrack).

The issue is that NMB is controlled by the president and until we get a new one (one who is sympathetic to labor) no pilot group will be given authorization to strike and nothing will chance.

"This board is NOT a venue for the discussion of politics, pro or con". Going out on a limb here I have to say; how curious. APC is a board with a huge variety of professional pilots participating from a variety of labor perspectives (and a variety of unions) and we're "not" allowed to "talk politics". Due to the mudslinging that often occurs during "politics on discussion boards" I completely understand the conventional wisdom why this "isn't allowed", and most other boards are the same way. But then, in a way, its a pity "politics" on APC are not allowed. I'm fairly certain the people and organizations who influence the labor climate for what it is pretty much don't have this quasi self-imposed censorship. Perhaps thats a factor in their success.

However, it can not be denied that every part of aviation from puddle jumping Cubs to intercontinental 747's is affected by politics.
