I'll second that. Horrible idea. The SPSC is really ratcheting their activity; if they want another lanyard/sticker/tag/earrings they'll issue it. All it'll do is dilute the effectiveness of the green one. Will you wear both? Alternate? One on your bag?

Sorry, just reminds me of the 26%er sticker from years ago.

Anything not sanctioned by the union or the company is not protected in the uniform policy and you could be asking for trouble FYI

This should be the least of your worries. Let's concentrate on not undermining the effectiveness of our ALPA representatives by creating a visible sign of disunity within the pilot group.

Are you trying to send a message to the union that we need to do a strike vote and you disagree with the strategy they have taken to this point? OR are you trying to send a message to the company that we aren't a unified pilot group? These are the only messages that will be sent if you go out on your own and buy your lanyards. If you you have a problem with the strategy of our NC and SPSC, then call them directly to discuss it with them. If you want to show management that we aren't unified, then go slurp down some gravy.

Terrible idea...pass! You're joining Gunga Dim in the long list of bad ideas.

Anyone not wearing the green lanyard at this point is nothing more than a stooge of Team Bendover/ Jyrinal. There is no middle ground.

It might be a bad idea, especially when we're trying to display unity... However, it does demonstrate how frustrated MANY of us are, and perhaps the SPSC should take heed. For example, why do we have a single damn truck in BDL showing our displeasure (in a place that doesn't know Spirit) when we should have a dozen in FLL?!?! Goddamit we need to light the fires in the places that count!! Not some new city that has a handful of departures per day!
