I wear the lanyard, but I think we are all adult enough to still have this perfect trip, even if the guy next to us isn't wearing the required "15 pieces of flare." (to quote Office Space.) Signs and symbols will not improve the quality of the negotiators we've put in place. To place so much emphasis on something like a lanyard reminds me of a typical high school clique. We are gown a** men and women, and supposedly professionals as well. ALPA is here and we are negotiating with the company; with or without any lanyards. We are not laborers who never made it past high school, and need the extra signs and slogans to follow the collective sheep. Everybody who has such a hard-on about these lanyards that they would stop treating a colleague with some common courtesy needs to grow up.

I don't ever give people crap if they don't have a lanyard on, but I will say "hey if you need a lanyard I've got extras in my bag". The whole point of the lanyard is a show of strength and unity. When management walks through the terminal and sees everyone has their lanyard on it means we are all on the same page and we are all committed to this process. When they see guys without the lanyard it shows discontent and disagreement... Especially because to this point the union has only really requested one measly thing for us.

WhiteHammer needs a "Safe Space"
That's because it's a bunch of regional pilots flying the biggest airplane they have ever flown sitting in the left seat thinking their **** don't stink. Congrats on upgrade, your really special now. I make a post about how you talk about "mine mine mine" and you thrash me like your gradeschoolers. It's very similar to the way you all treated the Virgin guys in the thread awhile back saying they should all go to the bottom of the seniority list. For a pilot group that's suppose to have a lot of cool guys, there sure is a lot of tools on this thread.
You guys are right, I am wrong. Your the man and it's all about you.

Who fraking cares. You're my FO, You're my capt, don't really care how I'm addressed.
A perfect trip:
Both pilots wearing lanyards.
Good discussion involving boobs (if you're into that), football, and where we are going to grab a beer.
Get to layover hotel, now beer is consumed. (Hooray!)
Repeat for days 2,3, or 4.
Go home, don't talk about airplanes. Watch football.
Did I mention football starts soon. FOOTBALL! What a wonderful time of the year. A whole season devoted to drinking beer, eating brats, and watching the greatest sport ever. (Go Pats)

First off *you're the man
Secondly:
That's from a Delta thread so it seems to me you may just have a problem with authority.
And C:
MY Captains are legacy furloughs that didn't accept recall, military guys, former corporate guys, and regional guys. Some of those pilots include a former Blue Angel, former U-2 pilot, and every other military aircraft imaginable. Some were former chief pilots to very large corporate flight departments. Some were check airman at their former regional. I've never flown with a guy I wouldn't fly with again.
Yes we are right, yes you are wrong. We are the men, however it's not all about us. It's all you.

To The guy that said that I can swing gear, operate radios, and do walk arounds I am surprised they let you upgrade with an attitude like that.
I really have not met that big of a jerk here. You guys are just being post tough guys. There is no way you would say anything like that to me is person. Your probably the same guys that complain about no captains authority, because your *****s and nobody respects you, then get on forums and talk **** on guys that you got hired before. Do you really see yourself as a better person or pilot than the guy sitting next to you? Because that's how your acting.
