An old farmer decided it was time to get a new rooster for his hens. The current rooster was still doing an okay job, but he was getting on in years and the farmer figured getting a new rooster couldn't hurt. So he buys a new cock from the local rooster emporium, and turns him loose in the barnyard. Well, the old rooster sees the young one strutting around and he's a little worried about being replaced. He walks up to the new bird. "So you're the new stud in town? I bet you really think you're hot stuff don't you? Well I'm not ready for the chopping block yet. I'll bet I'm still the better bird. And to prove it, I challenge you to a race around that hen house over there. We'll run around it ten times and whoever finishes first gets to have all the hens for himself." Well, the young rooster was a proud sort, and he definitely thought he was more than a match for the old guy. "You're on," he said, "and since I'm so great, I'll even give you a head start of half a lap. I'll still win easy!" So the two roosters go over to the henhouse to start the race with all the hens gathering to watch. The race begins and all the hens start cheering the old rooster on. After the first lap, the old rooster is still maintaining his lead. After the second lap, the old guy's lead has slipped a little -- but he's still hanging in there. Unfortunately, the old rooster's lead continues to slip each time around, and by the fifth lap he's just barely in front of the young fella. By now the farmer has heard the commotion. He runs into the house, gets his shotgun and runs into the barnyard figuring a fox or something is after his chickens. When he gets there, he sees the two roosters running around the henhouse, with the old rooster still slightly in the lead. He immediately takes his shotgun, aims, fires, and blows the young rooster away. "Danm. That's the third gay rooster I've bought this month."
 
you are correct english is not my first language.

But I am just trying to figure out why the unions think that the are going to fix the company by going on strike.

Is shutting down a company will that solve the problem?

I understand that my english is not that great but I am learning and try to improve it every day.

Is shutting down a company will that make them happy or will that solve the problem.

I been a member for two unions in the past and on the first one we went on strike and the company went under and we all lost our jobs.
then I had to start all over again.

Thats why I ask at the question.

Was it your bad english that caused you to make the statement, "I'LL FLY FOR FREE" on the Fractional Board?
 
se1776,



Hopefully you'll do us all a favor and take your "I'm just happy to have a job, no matter what they pay us" attitude back to your home country. I have absolutely nothing against foreign pilots but we don't need anymore chumps willing to make any concession necessary in exchange for a pair of epaulets. Too bad the Jeppessen commercial pilot course doesn't spend a chapter on self worth.

As long as you agree to continually cut your pay whenever the industry suffers there is no incentive for management to actually manage the dam# company.

Why did you state that you would "FLY FOR FREE" on the Fractional board?
