Using Juice's words, there are too many "gravy chokers" in FLL. You know the guys who will pick up the $10 now for themselves instead of the $100 for everyone a few feet away. Disaster averted.

I am curious as to why your MEC doesn't try to get APA and SWAPA involved in the picket. When SWAPA did their event recently, APA bused in Pilots to picket. Hell even get the regional pilots involved. The more bodies the better. SWAPA had close to 1000 pilots out there.

Nothing like a FLL guy bragging to you about how he made 294,000 last year when your last paycheck was $800 on first year pay. He just "knows the right people" in scheduling. What a bunch BS.

It was either this or somebody who was thrilled to death making $135 an hour because it was better than air Jamaica or some bankrupt startup. Now I hope these were the exceptions to the majority of the group there but it seemed pretty common. This has to stop.

I think we could get new bag tags that say either "WHATEVER IT TAKES...to credit 120+ hours" or "WHATEVER IT TAKES...as long as I can credit 120+ hours". They mean very different things; either way they will obviously be a gravy color.
