Glad you think so highly of pilots social status.
Guess what? ALPA hasn't done much for anyone lately. Just ask USAir pilots or any other group that has been stomped on. ALPA needs to revise their tactics.
Most pilots are ready for a new union.
Picketing outside a major airport doesn't do much for the public. They already think we're overpaid as it is. If I had a $1 for every time I heard people say "look at those pilots crying about their $300,000 salary outside of Sky Harbor."
It is my opinion, pilots need to resort to tactics that work. Board room tactics. Not renting a blower from Diamond Rental to power a 15' rat with red eyes and claws.
This is a business. We're providing a service that we need to deem the value of through business-style negotiations.
