PCL,
I am an "Eastie". I am not dying off anytime soon. If that is your desire, please let me know the time and place and I will be happy to meet with you. BTW, when many of us were walking the picket line, working at alpa headquarters, looking for work to support our families, etc, etc, you were in grade school (6 years old), mostly likely trying to figure out how not to wet your pants when the playground big boys picked on you. I would suggest that you get a real life and quit living in some fantasy world (ie Flightinfo.com, 9500+ posts). There is much more to life than your single-minded notion that alpa is the savior of the the airline industry.
Just my thoughts.
You sound unhappy? How can that be fixed? Do I read the kids are not important if I get paid more? If putting your kids to bed each night is the most important thing in your life, then you do not join the military or become an airline pilot. Life is too short for all the unhappiness I see on these sights. I have had a ball going through this career. Of course you know that story. This is still a great careerSure. I love to fly.
I just don't like the schedule and the paycheck anymore... I'm making less now, adjusted for inflation, than I have since I was 25 in a King Air when I still lived at home and had no responsibilities, and I'm gone twice as much as any other job I've ever had.
If I got paid six figures (like I used to), it *MIGHT* offset the time away from home. Maybe. Or if I got paid this and was home every night in time to put the kids to bed and was able to wake up with them and put them on the bus to school before flying,,,
Don't know why that's so hard of a request to understand... Compensate us fairly and give us time off to have a life. What a concept.
Why do you care about focusing on the public? They don't matter. When push comes to shove, they'll care more about saving $0.99 on that next ticket. Wasting resources on advertising to the public is not a good plan.

Then why does ALPA take out full page ads in newspapers during contract negotiations?
Justice??? No credit for anytime spent on the property before furlough is justice. Chances are we are flying with the same f/o's at UAL ask them how they would feel about that, especially the ones that are going out the door for the second time. There are two sides to every story.
Spitfire....then why did ANY bogus info get out about the pilot and his actions? Why did ALPA NOT step up and keep them from smearing the guy? This investigation has been all but completed in the press and the speed at which they are releasing info is unreal.
