Wouldn't there be more value in attending while wearing the Green Lanyard and an ALPA tie vs. not attending at all? 99.9% of FO's have their apps in at other carriers and it would be worth it for him to show up and collect the award for airlineapps.com's sake.

1) I don't think anyone is wearing a lanyard to this thing

2) He doesn't wear the lanyard on the line, doubt he will at his function.

3) If your position is 99% of FOs have apps in at other carriers, and doing this is good for the resume, you're taking the position that it's ok to be self serving and selfish as long as it benefits your resume, and not the group of pilots you stand with now.

So why even try for higher FO wages when you claim that every one is trying to get out?

Most of the FOs I fly with say they are here and want to get the contract and will do what it takes to get it. Those are the guys I hope we get the big bucks for, not the self serving ones who are working on their "TMAAT stories"

You mean people do this sober?!?!?!?!?

You know what you are? You're a lanyard bully.

You guys are funny. Let the MEC do the dirty work. You pay them darn near 2% to do so. Quit eating your own young.

LOL!!!!!! That is funny.

No, I was referring to a contract.

ET is a good guy, I was on his jumpseat back in October. I wouldn't give him crap, he's done a lot for betterment of pilots.
