Default PNCL Picketing in MEM .....FINALLY!!!

Finally ALPA is not playing Mr. Nice Guy.

Get your tail out to the airport and lets show management, the passengers, CNN, Fox News, Delta mainline and everybody else just how sick and tired we are of making $25,000 a year to fly a jet at 31,000 feet at 500 mph.


Good job ALPA! Don't stop there, keep coming up with more ideas. Unleash the funds. Get a notice out in the USAToday and Wall Street Journal. Make some more billboards. 6 years is tooooo long, MAKE THIS THE FINAL FIGHT!!!

You are a very weak pilot group. No one there seem to care. 6 years!? Are you kidding me? I thought we at ASA were weak. You all take the cake now. I've said this before on here and to you guys when I see you. FLY SAFE! Make sure every airplane is the safest it could possibly be. Tell your peers to do the same. If you need a list of things that can easily be written up on a CRJ do a search. There are TONS!
When ASA had the safest airplanes around it took 2 weeks and we had a TA.

But it's obvious you are doing some good! Now, what else? how about an interview with a news reporter? billboard, etc???

What are you thoughts on that?

Picketing is a joke. The general public doesn't give 2 schittz what we are paid. As previously stated, write up everything. Hell, leave the APU on all the time, taxi with both engines and get those flaps out really early. Do it all in the name of safety. Hit management where it hurts, in the wallet. Make it cost more to jack with you than to just give you what you want. If you guys won't do this then I have zero sympathy for you.

Actually picketing done right is effective. If lots of people show up it will scare passengers that some will buy tickets on other airlines. Tickets these days are fairly close in price. So if people at home see delta connection pilots holding signs that indicate a possible strike, that sends alot of customers to brand X. Right now people are buying tickets for the holidays. This is a great time to picket.

The airlines make a sizable profit during the holidays. This is the last thing they need. This will put alot of embarrassment on Phil Trenary to get the deal done.

I hope there are 300-500 pinnacle, colgan and mesaba pilots that show up.
