Poem for encouragement
 

I hope it’s OK that we take a break for a second and I can entertain you with a poem.

I asked chat GPT to write a funny poem about United pilots fighting for a new contract and this is what it said;


The pilots of United were in a tizzy, Their current contract was making them dizzy, They wanted a raise, a big one at that, And they weren't afraid to fight for that.

They rallied and picketed, making a scene, Holding signs that read, "We want the green!", Their demands were clear, they wanted more dough, And they weren't gonna stop until they made a show.

The executives were sweating, feeling the heat, Knowing the pilots wouldn't go down without a beat, They crunched the numbers, trying to find a way, To keep the pilots happy, and not let them stray.

But the pilots weren't impressed, they wanted it all, A salary that would make them stand tall, They wanted to be the industry leader, With a pay raise that would make their wallets much sweeter.

The negotiations were long, and tensions were high, But the pilots weren't budging, they weren't gonna lie, They wanted a contract that was truly the best, And they wouldn't settle for anything less.

Finally, after weeks of back and forth, A deal was struck, and the pilots let out a roar, They had won the fight, they had gotten their way, And now they could live to fly another day.

So, the moral of this story, it seems to be, Is that when United pilots want a pay raise, you'll see, They won't give up until they've gotten their fill, And that's just how it goes in this industry, still.

I think we need 15 pieces of flair personally.

The pilots said “Let’s unify;
And fight for our slice of the pie!
Still, an offer today,
Could set us back on our way,
To whining about DEI!”

so to your last line about DEI. I was wondering what chat GPT would say if I asked it to write a poem about United Airlines and DEI. I got to admit this is a pretty comical response. Enjoy!


United Airlines has made a decree, That diversity and inclusion are the key, To making flights happy, safe, and free, For every passenger, no matter their degree.

So they hired a penguin, oh so diverse, To be the pilot, with a quirky verse, And a monkey for co-pilot, with a banana thirst, They'll fly you to your destination, or to the jungle, at worst.

The flight attendants are a mix of all, With unicorns, mermaids, and even a troll, They'll serve you peanuts, or a magic bean, To make your flight a fantastical dream.

But don't you worry, it's not all about fun, They have serious measures, that can be undone, To ensure everyone feels welcome and included, And their journey is smooth, and never deluded.

So if you're looking for a flight with a twist, United Airlines is the one to enlist, With diversity and inclusion, they won't be missed, And your journey will be filled with laughter and bliss.

Is Sunvox the same guy in the other forum scolding the membership for being selfish?

What a moron.

Yeah, generally he’s been pretty level and seeming to be ready to fight for the best though he’s not a loud spoken, rabble rouser, but this makes me wonder if he’s had a stroke or something.

Or maybe just on a day off looking for a little fun and poking the bear.

Sunvox

Did you 10 or so years ago promoted that infamous in house union
UPA? (United Pilots Association)

just let the public know please

I’ve always admired Joe’s posts. Nothing wrong with an in house union. ALPA is about ALPA first.

HOWEVER, Sunvox seems to have fallen off the rocker with his latest posts about taking what’s on the table 😬.

"The deal on the table's the deal we must take!
The MEC's foolish and Kirby's a snake!"

"We've got what we've got and we won't get no more!
Kirby's done dealing and pilots are wh0res!"

"The answer's right there in most every report!
Take it today or we're gonna fall short!"

"I know this for sure and I won't brook your sass!
We won't overcome such a yawning crevasse!"

The resolute sighed in their kitchens and dens:
"TUMI me once, don't TUMI again."
