Thanks, Phoenix!
When it comes to manners and inappropriate comments for the board you and I are in complete agreement.
F9, I'd like to expound on your opinion that I'm a gadfly.
"Gadfly" is a term for people who upset the status quo by posing upsetting or novel questions, or attempts to stimulate innovation by proving an irritant. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gadfly_(social) I fully admit that I
am against the status quo of underpaying frac pilots. I
do consistently nudge the pilots into standing up to management. I
do remind the Options pilots to pay their dues so that they are better prepared to fight for their contract. It
is my opinion that pilots should be allowed to vote on the question of whether or not they want to organize. Sometimes those posts can irritate the anti-union group, but those I support appreciate the encouragement. So can you please just ignore the posts that are irrelevant to you?
As to the assertion that I post "hearsay" or "gossip", I don't agree. Those who know me and/or my husband are aware that I actually know
far more than I discuss on this board. I generally stick to union and/or human interest topics that I am well versed in and which have nothing to do with seat time. According to your narrow definition of accurate information even the pilots here should
only comment on the plane(s) they fly/have flown and no other topic. Perhaps a gadfly needs to ask you to broaden your horizons....
Ideas on how to improve wages/work conditions throughout the frac industry and support for those involved in that endeavor don't require a flying certificate. That said, I have an excellent source of information, not only in my husband, but among the pilots that I talk to/PM with on a regular basis. My thanks to those who include me in their conversations and my thanks to you, F9, for noticing that I'm right....
