Study summer 2K and you'll understand how public perception is a huge
power in our favor, but it has nothing to do with who's side they're on.

Apparently management does care about what the public thinks as they're now defending themselves with their latest post to their negotiations website.
"Recent very public claims that sub-Continental pilots are “now flying an average approaching 90 hours a month” are not true. The chart below shows the actual average for June 2011 for each fleet for both lineholders and reserves. As can be seen, the more correct statement would be that sub-Continental pilots are “now flying an average approaching 65 hours a month.” An average that is not markedly different from years past, including 2010 (shown below) when line values were reduced pursuant to a negotiated furlough mitigation agreement with ALPA."

If someone thinks 80 or 90 hours a month sounds good, I ask them how many hours a week their car is in the company parking lot, then tell them that in order to make 80 hours a month of pay, my car does 80 a week.
