Worry about that when you get the interview. You’ll have plenty of time to prep.

Just a small sample

Are you willing to wear a flag tie?
do you check your payroll report ?
Can you go without food when none is available?
are you willing to sleep in the airport if a hotel is not provided?
do you prefer straight pay versus premium ?
Are you OK with having the worst contract in the industry?
Did you know that we threaten to furlough over 1000 pilots last Christmas?

I will give a hint on the answers 6 out of 7 are a big YES

You forgot one...will you vote yes on any TA since "you'd do this job for free"?

Bonus question...do you subscribe to the "balloon theory" of contract negotiating?

I thought it was “balloon knot theory” glad that’s cleared up.

You might have to explain the Flag Tie thing to this group. It's not something that the casual observer would know about.

Easy


The union said wear a solid color tie in solidarity. All the yes voters still wear the flag tie. We had 38 percent vote yes for a contract that was worse than Great Lakes airlines contract .

I wasn't here yet to vote no. I wear the flag tie because I know that terrible symbol of oppression rustles some peoples' jimmies in certain places and I find enjoyment in that.

Neither of our tie options are particularly attractive.

Id say a majority of the flag tie people just wear it these days because it isn't the Wendys manager tie...
