Nationwide Walkout

[skypine69]

How come hundreds of thousands of immigrants can come together and stage a national walkout on a day but 50000 airline pilots cant get together to do the same thing? I think that a one day no fly day would help the public and management understand how critical air transportation is to the nation and if the downword trend on wages continues, there will be fewer and fewer people willing to put up with the schedules and regulation. Think about it.

spelling mistakes not my fault.

you know someone will say because it is illegal, but so was rebelling against the british

Because they would all be fired.

Probably not the right forum, but.....

The walkout is scheduled for Monday, May 1st. I'm guessing many participants are probably going to take off work on Cinco de Mayo as well, which is Friday.

I hope employers lock out all employees on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday who walkout on Monday. I also hope all employers who are employing illegal immigrants lock them out until they can prove they are here in compliance with U. S. immigration laws.

Congress really needs to get busy and pass laws making it a criminal offense to employ illegal aliens and to establish a guest worker program to fill the jobs that need to be filled. Otherwise, the entire country is going to wind up like Miami after the Mariel Boatlift when more than 125,000 mostly poor Cubans including 800-900 criminals were dumped in South Florida. I think it's safe to say that although many educated middle-class Cubans have assimilated very well into US culture many under-educated lower-class Cubans have not assimilated well at all.

I wonder what role leftwing PAC's such as moveon.org are playing in organizing this walkout?

Every single airline pilot would be fired? I know there are a lot out on furlough, but I doubt there are enough to cover every single airline pilot job out there.

The walkout seems like it could be a good idea, something to get the industry a little stirred up in our favor. It would suck for it to backfire in our faces, i.e the controller strike all those years ago.

Illegal Aliens have a stronger Union: The Democrat Party.

Didn't stop Reagan from firing all the air traffic controllers.

Besides, not all the pilots would participate.

Most pilots think only for themselves.
