Wow, sounds great. I'm sure they wouldn't twist words around or anything. ABC - Go screw yourselves. Freaking leaches.

Yeah I am sure this will fly real great with management I know there is a specific paragraph in our FOM that states you shall not speak with media.

Ewww, sounds sketchy. It's probably a trap from management. I bet the mailto HTML behavior sends it right to your company management. Busted!!

This is a recipe for disaster.

Don't be the guy who goes on ABC and spouts off about how your regional works you to the bone, gives you no time off, and pays you peanuts for the privilege.

We all know its true, of course.

Let ALPA (or whomever) do the talking on this one. This is a hot potato right now. At best, you're violating company rules and subject to a bull's eye on your back. At worse, you're violating company rules and subject to termination.

I can assure you, the hiring market is bad right now. You don't want to be the guy who is looking for a job b/c he shot his mouth off to the news media - they'll twist your words like a pretzel.

Be careful.

just send them what you want with a fake email address and contact info. You'll still get your info out to them without tying yourself to itt.

I would also like to point out once again that management, the media and all sorts of people from all over the world read APC. A couple of members even gained fame when they were quoted somewhere. It is prudent to be careful in everything you say or do.

I say why not... nothing to lose by talking to media if it is anonymous... just curious why they want to talk to regional guys only...

Nothing on the internet is anonymous if they really want to find you.
