Great idea, sounds like there are about 1,000 of them out there, and I guess that is just the start. I am a furloughed guy, but will sport the red bracelet proudly.
However, I wanted to ask a favor to all of you who are on the line and wearing them. If you see someone wearing them with no "147 on the street" sticker on their flight bag, ask them where it is and tell them that there are 147 hostages that also want to know. I am proud to see some unity regarding the contract negotiations, but we need it as well for our brothers and sisters on the street. I can't tell you how many flights I have been on as a nonrev where the flight attendants don't even know that we have furloughed pilots. Its our responsibility as a pilot group and as a union to make sure that everyone not just knows, but remembers that we have 147 people on the street fighting it out in the worst job market in many many years. Another message to all of those who donated to the Christmas gift, that was greatly appreciated, as is everyone's donation to pay our health insurance.
