As long as we show for work, and as long as the lines at job fairs exist, we're in for a long haul.

Whether we rat each other out to the CP for: long hair, backpacks, lack of grammar, lack of spelling skills, hats/no hats, PA style, etc, makes exactly NO difference.
Exactly correct on the nmb. The rest is just a fun way to pass the time waiting for C2020.

Exactly why we shouldn't be signing a another five year contract. 5=10

Yes Sir, I'm sure that's what matters to our passengers. Professional looking pilots.........as long as our low wage allows them that cheap seat.

You're right. It doesn't matter and they don't care or notice when we are squared away. It's when we look like we came off a bender with our tie half way down, unshaven, in a pair of black dockers and reeboks, and giving a dumb pa about how to close the lav door. That's when they notice.

Obviously the contract is more important than this.
