Begin with an article in the magazine explaining the RLA. Make the arguement: should it stay inplace or go away? Detail the disparity between actual rail workers and us. Example: rail workers have the RRB, airline workers got the shaft from the ATSB and PBGC.
You seem hung up on how others are doing... for example.. the UAW and the Railworkrs...
Sure it makes for conversation, but where does it end? And if the door is open for us... then what aboutother workers in other industries?
Talking points include: Social Security, job protections, unemployment, retirement and retirement age.
All valid issues for every worker in every industry...
After detailing the RLA in the magazine, enpanel a committee to move the issue forward. Do so now so we can pick the best politcal candidates who share the vision. Then start putting ads in papers.
HOW... do you enpanel a committee. Are you going to call Prater? I don't intend to be sarcastic here... how do you get a committee going?
ALPA [Prater] needs to shelve the Crewpass stuff and get busy with something that will help us all. This does it!
Unfortuantely... your fellow pilots ego at the security line is more important. Pilots want the secusirty issue fixed... yesterday.
(btw, this is too quick a responce, but I'm flying...I'll get back to you Rez.)
All right.... while you're flying... what about the PAC and resolutions?
