That is what I have said! Does anyone even realize that at best this is a social event in the conference room next to the shareholders room? I will be there eating the free food too but WAKE the F up!!!!!!!!! At best we are aloud maybe 2 guys on maybe a nearby corner. Its my understanding that we have not applied for a permit to picket. There will be no approved traditional picket line. AGAIN, push for more action towards things that matter to management and fly your line and contract.

I think it is great that we have started to come together on this and we, for the most part, are fired up! Why not keep it going?! I am not saying strike today. I am saying lets get the plans and the dialogue started now to show management we are serious. The only thing that really means anything to the company is a direct impact on operations. Do you all really think that the ALPA lawyers, the NC, GH and anyone else that does not fly a regular line like the rest of us has the same sense of urgency that we have?? Management is doing exactly what the want, drag it out and wait for the economy to drop then say "we can't afford it" or merge us then pit us against another pilot group for a few more years. It's time to email your reps, spread the word to who you are flying with to do the same which is DEMAND proactive measures to force the company to get serious!! See you in Houston

Yes YES!! They must know how seriously angry we are! Until IOT until we all go the extra mile to cover all flying and put ourselves in the standing available list.

Where it matters we are not showing anything....

I copied this from another thread. It is not just an isolated upgrade in LGA md80 that was reported before.

"A 2014 Delta hire that dove over from Airtran after southwest bought them held 717 captain today, while his counterparts that didn't leave still can't hold Atlanta FO at southwest."
