Time to get out. We aren't getting a contract. I've heard that 1/3 the captains in ORD still taxi with one engine. ***? Not that taxiing with 1 engine with get us a contract it just shows the don't care. I've had FO's tell me they only wear the lanyard because of peer pressure.

We will get a contract and those of us that are still here will go on strike to get it. Short of that we aren't getting one unless a bunch of us puss out and vote in an allegiant deal.

Maybe we can have a contest to see which domicile taxis best.

It is mind blowing. So many FO's don't seem riled up at all. When I taxi on two or other such things they look at me like I'm crazy. The best was the one that said he was only wearing the lanyard due to peer pressure. Seems like maybe the company is stocking the deck with company men.

Sounds like a movement worth joining!

Someone was chanting No Show - No Go last weekend. It has a good ring to it.
