Pilots shouldn't need to be "inspired" to be involved in their own careers. I'm not exactly sure what you think Prater can do to get you off your ass. If what has happened to labor and this profession over the past seven years hasn't "inspired" you to get involved, then nothing will.what has the leadership done to inspire participation pcl?
You might want to ask the former CP and the rest of the Pinnacle management team about that. I can assure you that their feelings for me are far from "loving." Loathing would be more accurate.and management couldn't love you more for it
The ironic thing here is that the only people in this thread that have actually done what you suggest are Lear, Rez, Occam and me. The rest of you simply rest on your laurels and complain about the leadership. If you have a problem with the leadership, then get off your ass and become the leadership. We already have.This goes for everyone- Stop crying and blaming and DO SOMETHING
It's a shared responsibility.
I'll tell you what: show me a union that is OVERSTAFFED with volunteers, that has to TURN PILOTS AWAY who want to be on committees, can pick and choose from the best, brightest, and most-suitable for those jobs, and also who has a better than 90% turnout of "available" pilots (those who aren't at work) for picketing events, MEC quarterly meetings (the important ones), and has a more than 90% vote turnout for EVERY vote, and I'll shut up about membership involvement.
After all the mergers, the regional airlines will be the place to be due to the furloughs and such. No more flow backs either. I feel pretty confident, AND I don't have to worry about being some lame gear jerker, either.
I'll leave that to all you guys. LOL
Without that kind of solidarity, you could have the best Leadership in the world and you won't accomplish jack crap.
I believe the last time I saw doctor's strike was about five years ago in Pennsylvania. Could be wrong on the state. They went on strike to protest outrageously high malpractice insurance. Cannot remember the last time my pilot group went on strike. Thats right, we never have. We continue to give and give! I just googled doctors strke america. Not only have doctors struck, they have picketed as well. You were saying?
You edited your post for "speiling," but still couldn't get "whinning" spelled correctly? If you're going to call us whiners, then at least spell it properly. Or better yet, get back to work. Does USA Jet know that one of their overpaid managers spends a lot of his time at work on an internet message board? Don't you have a memo to distribute or something?Nothing but whinning, this is still a great career
