United Pilot to Upset to Fly!!

[Tejas-Jet]

Gee...we at SWA haven't been wearing hats for about 6 or 7 years now. I had no idea that it was a message to management.

Could this be the first shot in the "Taking it Back" campaign ?

Guys like you have to wear a hat to conceal that front to back pee orifice in the top of your d!ckhead!

I guess when you guys finally get into a confrontation with management you'll need to do a "shirt switch".

Problem is, when you take your shirts off, management will think you're passengers.

PIPE:nuts:

If the MEC tells you not to wear your hat, then don't wear your fu--ing hat!

If the MEC tells you to take a bath with a toaster, then take a bath with a fu--ing toaster.

Has the union come out supporting the PIC's right to cancel a flight or critisized him for the hat issue. The PIC's rights trump the hat, IMO.

PCL,

I'm not on the MEC so please don't take a bath with a toaster.

The hat issue is simply a tool to

A. show the company we are unified &

B identify those that are not with us.

The PIC obviously has rights, he also has a choice as to wether he is with us or not. If not then he gets what he deserves from his fellow pilots.

As if having your pension stolen, enduring two pay cuts, flying more hours than any major, and farmed out flying isn't enough to "unify"? But a hat or lack thereof will? Am I missing something over here?

Yes you are. It is a VISUAL, as in all your peers can see, sign as to who is with us and who is not. It gives the union an idea as to how much support they have and the company gets to see we are unified. Obviously the things you stated are what got the movement going.

So let me get this straight....UAL is losing $6M/day and the pilots think management really gives a rats a** how "unified" the pilots are? Well, if it gives ya a warm and fuzzy to see the guy/gal next to ya isn't wearing his hat in "protest" and it makes you feel "unified" with him/her, I guess keep up the fight! At least you won't miss wearing it when you are standing in the unemployment line....this is a group in bad need of a hug!

What if the MEC tells you to jump off a bridge?

What if the MEC tells you to jump off a bridge?

Yes, mom, because that's the same thing as not wearing the damned hat.

These pilot unions sure are a sad lot. That you even need to come UP with this stuff....the hat issue, in a feeble attempt to show UNITY is just embarrassing.

Unity should be 100 percent. Period. But it's not, and that's why so many airline pilots have found themselves in the position they are in.

I'm sure the IAM and the UAW look at an ALPA member and just laugh when they read stuff like this.

An airline pilot will be the first one to sell out their co-worker.

It will never be the way it was. Too many people willing to take your job and do it for less.

Somebody tries to cross a picket line in Detroit, they get killed. Cross an ALPA picket line, you get a seniority number. I bet you can count on one hand a pilot scab that has lost sleep over scabbing.

But this hat issue is just simply amazing. Sort of like General Lee's "United PLUS ONE" bag sticker.

So is this a legal coordinated job action?
