BINGO! Having quite a lot of experience with SPC activities, I can state emphatically that your assessment is spot on.

Anything less than about a 95% YES on a SAV would be embarrassing and counterproductive.

Then you’d just have the “I hate ID card tags” crowd. 🙄

That guy needs to be beaten completely senseless or at least have his ATP stripped for “questionable moral character”. Please PM me their name because their actions are utterly absurd and I want to make sure I never do any scheduling business with them at the very least.

it’s not a valid excuse. I hate lanyards. But it’s pretty straight forward. Not a big ask. The fact that some just can’t do this one simple thing is mind blowing. The flag tie thing was a bit divisive. I don’t wear a flag tie however. I gave those I saw without a lanyard the benefit of the doubt for the first month or two. Everyone who wants to wear one has had ample time to find one.

The faux outrage about the flag tie request was absurd. It was a temporary request for a visible display of unity. Leaving the flag tie in the closet for a few months wasn’t a big ask either.

Neither is not picking up OT during a picket but we can't seem to do that either...

I don’t disagree about the flag tie. I wore black and still do. However, it gave some an “excuse” (if ever so weak) to not go along. There is zero excuse now. None. So, if I see a pilot not wearing one, I can only assume he/she doesn’t want to show support for a contract or their fellow pilots.

I’m ready to bring back the black tie instead of the corn dog pseudo-black tie….
