Let them eat the cake they bought. For me, I am still hoping for the Unity we once had. I believe that we will never be able to have a say in what goes on until this company feels it in the wallet. The first thing would be for a complete and honored days off program. Do you 75 hours and not one minute more. This isn't a OT ban, only a education process. I want you to upgrade and and anyone else who does. Until everyone is on the same page then my previous attitude applies. F-M

For me about the only thing would be a total shutdown. Could it happen?. Hell yea. But until then I am safe. Many of my fellow more senior Capt.s have taken the attitude of well we tried to get everyone on the same page, nonone wanted to listen so ******em. Let them eat the cake they bought.

I know of at least a few hundred guys who did not get a bonus, did not get a leather jacket, did not vote for or against the contract, take home pay under $1000 a month who bust their tails to provide excellent support to their senior and junior captains just because it is the right thing.
Thanks for the pep talk and I appreciate being told the same Captains I desire to support have poor things to say about us or any other F/O. Unity includes everyone. I am going to get some cake with my savings from my previous job.
