You know what in all honesty if we thought that way we would spend all of our time fighting with each other, been there and done that and it has gotten us no where. The only ones who succeed when we did that was management. Lorenzo was a master of one thing Divide and Conquer and many of the management teams that followed him!

Throughout the late eighties and early ninety's we all fought each other and that prevented us the ability to effectively organize. One of the first things Bethune did is move our employee numbers from large print in the front of our ID to small print in the back.

The consistency of our pilot group today is like never before in my twenty years here. We are unified we are ready to engage in a comprehensive contract campaign that will give our negotiators the ability to negotiate a real contract one similar to FEDEX.

If I didn't believe that I wouldn't be wasting my time as the Strike Preparedness Chairman. Only time will tell care to make a bet on the outcome of our contract 08 campaign?

I feel his pain. During my 18 month reserve experience they rolled my days almost every time they could.
