Has anyone seen the adds where the contoller's union basicly "educates" the public on why they need highly paid, highly trained controllers. And just recently adds about the staffing shortage?
People get scared about, "what if the controller isn't properly trained? What if there aren't enough to keep the airplanes from hitting eachother?"
Then the people really start to support the contollers. Why doen't ALPA run adds to this effect for the pilots? Its not like were aren't up there too trying to make each flight safe!?
ALPA and EVERY other union out there needs to educate the public about what we do, how we get paid, how much we REALLY get paid, and then brake it down on a per hour away from home!
Come one union guys. I know you are on this board. How about suggesting something like that?
