Easy killer. Calling PCL128 a "clueless toolbox who is just like mgmt" is about as far from the truth as you can get; your inability to argue his point without resorting to name calling and mud-slinging only undermines your ability to make others identify and side with your argument.PBRstreetgang said:This is the low level of thinking that brought this industry to it's current level. I have a hard time believing that people could be so clueless, you are in the same category as the mgmt that pulls the strings attached to your puppet like persona. 911 was mgmts excuse to rape and pillage the airline labor movement and they will not be happy until you are making slightly more than the local freeway offramp beggar. Newsflash toolbox, you are LABOR and subject to the whims and vagarities of the mgmt that acts as puppeteer. You think that it is some mysterious process that the lorenzo's and wolfes magically appear at the top of airline managment structures, ok here is a free one, they are "hired" to crush your worthless career to maximize corporate profits, nothing more, nothing less. You wanna know why? Read these message boards there are dozens(once hundreds), of newbie pilots who will do your job for half of what you get(wife, parents will support them). You are a dinosaur waiting for your career to sink into the mud pits of extinction, the new mgmt model is to renew the senority lists with layoffs, furloughs and other legal mechanisims designed to limit your senority to 5 years of less. After your 3rd or 4th furlough you will walk away to that lowes plumbing dept job, and make space for the next clueless toolbox who "loves flying" your passion will be exploited mercilessly until your a$$ bleeds like a child molester's in a prison cellblock. Sorry for the rant, continue with your regularly scheduled rant.

He and I differ on opinions as to how everyone banding together COULD have helped - I would have LOVED to have seen NWA pilots walk with mecanics -but, in the end, as John Doe said, you'd have a dead airline.
I agree that things will not change UNTIL people stop agreeing to work for peanuts, people put their foot down and say "no", even if it means the end of their job, and/or airlines everywhere start charging a fair ticket price.
I also know that none of those things are going to happen because people are scared, greedy, and Walmart spoiled. Sad, but true.
