Nobody cares what you find interesting...

Don't feed the troll.

Who's trolling who? His analogy makes sense, and he is most likely an ATI pilot on an ATI thread.

Ahh it was informational. Ok I got it now. My bad, I stand corrected. Yeah, no I need an education. I apologize. I didn’t realize it was informational. Information is good.
Of course informational. What was I thinking...

Yeah, maybe the fat guy on the bike was confused as well.

Nobody is arguing the difference of a strike vs a picket. What I am asking however is why picket a customer? If striking to hit a customer is inappropriate, why is picketing a customer ok?

More direct, what makes anyone flying for an acmi think it is ever appropriate to picket Amazon? None of us work for Amazon, we work for acmi who has amazon as a customer.

Is that clear? Or do we want to keep this misdirect talking about what picketing vs striking is?

That’s not true, I find what this person finds interesting worth caring about. Why? Because they have a valid point on an ATI specific thread. Since I am employed by ATI I find there thoughts worth while. You however seem to be here to cause misdirection and disruption to the thread.

I think it would be more appropriate for ATI pilots to say to you: nobody cares what you have to say or think or feel or find interesting on an ATI thread.

Why is it appropriate to picket Amazon?

Speaking strictly from an Atlas/Southern point of view, it's because the company CLEARLY over-promised and under-delivered.

AAWW sold Amazon a "bill of goods".

It's appropriate because every single Atlas/Southern pilot has a vested interest in the success of Prime Air. But if the Prime Air deal is going to succeed then the weak links need to be identified ASAP.

The picketing is meant to bring awareness to the staffing issues at AAWW that are glowing red hot.

Also, AAWW is becoming famous for misleading customers and investors, blaming "disruptions" on labor and trade issues. That's all false of course, so the pickets are a good opportunity to meet with media who are interested in the real story. It's informative for both customers and investors.

Informational pickets are like a truth serum; the antidote to the spiked KoolAid the company is serving to customers and investors, and even new pilots who have never seen this game played.

Yes I think as far as AAWW is concerned you are correct, they are not acting in an honest or straight forward manner. I think you would be hard pressed to find another pilot who thinks AAWW is acting in an ethical manner. The pilots know it and the investors do too.

That said, what part of that is amazons fault? Why picket and call them out? And yes that has been happening.

This shows that the pilot group is against amazon directly. Granted it was only one pilot, but here is his quote:

"It takes a lot of bravery, courage, and moral fortitude to stand up to a really powerful corporation like Amazon," Russo told Business Insider before the strike on Monday.

So, to recap, I can understand why you may want to stand up to AAWW. We all get that. But why pee in the customers Cheerios?

Well there you go again.

Using logical thought process, common sense and fairness. All expressed in an eloquent and intelligent manner.

You should know better

Look, there are different sorts of activities that are being muddled together in this discussion:

--Active strikes meant to use economic leverage to hurt employers.

--Informational pickets meant to raise awareness.

--Third person demonstrations of solidarity.

In the Amazon event you cite, it was Amazon warehouse workers who staged a walkout--not a strike, per se, because they aren't unionized.

Solidarity was expressed by numerous other groups, including Amazon's own tech workers.

And finally Bezos himself says, "I expect us to be scrutinized. We should be scrutinized...all large institutions should scrutinized and examined. It's reasonable."

He welcomes the scrutiny.

You can hear him say so at approx. :40 sec on this short video.
