Let's get the whole industry behind this, all it takes is a minute of your time. Get your spouse, friends, family to sign. 100,000 signatures guarantees a response from the POTUS.

This would do well in the Majors forum if the Mods would allow it. Can you provide a "live" link as well? Thanks.

Not sure how to do the live link.

It would do well in the regionals area as well. Operation orange folks, spread the news!

We need over 3,000 signatures per day to make this happen by the deadline.
This has I be bigger than RAH. We need our Flight Attendants, mechanics, pilots, their friends, family, spouses to sign. We need the mainline and other regionals to do the same.
Let's get the whole industry behind this, all it takes is a minute of your time.

I'll be printing small pieces of paper with the link and a small explanation on it and handing them out to other airline folks I pass at the airport. Share the link on Facebook and twitter, social media is a powerful tool. If the Teamsters had an balls or pull they could easily have their 100,000+ members sign it, but we know that they possesses neither. We are on our own to make this happen, time to step up to the plate folks.

This needs to become viral to really take hold! If you started a group on Facebook please share it so we can get the word out and spread it. Time is not on our side! I will do my part! This is a MAJOR grass roots effort that needs to be heard! Good on the people who have the positive attitude to make their voices heard!

I wonder if the mods would let this get posted in the regional and major forums for better exposure. Pretty important stuff...

Does the RLA only pertain to airlines with unions? I would think all are bound by this?
