I definitely think that it was a good idea that the WSJ publish the responses, but it is still a far cry from the CNN / FOX /ABC whoever media outlets that we need to reach out to. No matter how much you spread the word, it seems like it stops there. We just all need to interview on live TV while in the cockpit showing out pay stub.
I racked up a measly take home $19K my first year. Here's to 2008!!!

Blame ALPA or the Teamsters... for some reason, the teachers union in CA had more public exposure in 2005-6 than we have ever had. WHY??? I don't get it. This is the kind of thing we need to "flood the market" with:

Correct me if I am wrong but I believe you are one of those guys that took a job for 19k a year after you took a job before that was even less than that? Maybe the orange and turqoise (think those are you new colors) kool aid has made you forget, but Saab you are ONE OF THOSE GUYS, but no love lost, your still a Saab driver so nuff respect.
. Agian though, the problem lies with the individual as mush as any union, lets face it union have nowhere near as much power they had decades ago...................actually maybe its just the airline union that are weak, look at the writes, autoworkers, and the MTA who have the easiest job in the world, and they had no problem going on strike....................
