INSTEAD: why don't you use your ALPA email link (yesterday) and fill out three Calls To Action: minimum qualification, secondary barriers, and Flags of Convenience.

Each one took me one minute.

You can wail that it does no good.

I assure you, complaints or compliments about the political process on APC are statistically unlikely to have any desirable long-lasting effect.
Didn't think this site had moderators. We never seem to see any around anymore.

Do people on here not have friends and family that are air traffic controllers. Would you tell a friend or family member you want to toss their pension and farm their job out to the lowest bidder like a regional airline model all while you collect a 16% B fund thanks to YOUR union. No union and you wouldn't have negotiated that on your own no matter how good the airlines are doing. So hypocritical.

I went to college too. No need to speak like that.

Capitalism is the best economic system as yet developed. History has shown that the greater amount of freedom a people have in their society, the happier and better off that society is. Capitalism is the representation of freedom applied to money and economics.

As for plutocracy I don't think that defines America. If anything we are ruled by the elderly who vote regularly and often. See healthcare and social change at the ballots hanging on their opinion rather than big business.

Except in places like Scandinavia and Canada where they have a better quality of life and are better educated.

Better quality of life? And what does education have to do with any of this? Not everyone is required to get a college education.

Yea, I know plenty of plant workers who have or will retire with well into 7 figures in their 401k and never spent 1 day in a college.

Education doesn't necessarily mean college. It could mean learning a big vocation as well A well educated population is a more innovative population. The days of working as an unskilled laborer and making a good wage are pretty much over.
