The ones getting emotional are pilots like you and Benzoate who state the rest are ignorant, or that we are headed for "financial ruin", which, by the way is a complete exageration.
The majority isn't convinced that we have a set plan in place to have un-emotional pilots elected to lead a union. Until that is resolved, there's no union.
The guys wanting to lead a union are the slobs down in ops about to have a heart attack getting worked up over business issues, yet they take them emotional.
The ALPA organizing team royally F'ed the pilot group by not selling something that is necessary. They did a poor job with their road shows. Completely disorganized.
At times I find myself wondering if the guys on here ranting, which are dividing the pilot group, are really management goons trying to prevent a union. I'm not convinced that Benzoate is really a pro union guy as he divides the pilot group between professional and unprofessional with his month-long rants.

You feel JB Pilots generally base their vote on the rants of individuals online rather than the fact that they cant even get a sniff of union compensation and benefits do you?
Seems like you also believe JetBlue Pilots to be ignorant!

Wow you and I have a different definition of ignorant and you take it as an insult. I would never take it as an insult, I take it as a challenge to better myself by educating myself and not be ignorant on a topic. I have never known it to be an insulting term but obviously you are much more sensitive (or possibly insecure) than I and most of my peers are.

Websters dictionary defines ignorant as lacking knowledge of a specific item or topic. How is that an insult!! If an individual is I insulted by that that have some serious self esteem issues or they are ignorant to the definition of the word just like JB pilots as a group are ignorant on the topics being discussed on this thread. I have never or have never known and will never take the term ignorant to be an insult as long as there is a topic involved in the discussion. Only if you refer to an individual as being an ignorant individual and not referencing a topic or item would that be a insult.

I've worked for six pilot groups. Some ALPA, some Teamsters, some non-union. They all have one thing in common. They would all sell their futures for an extra .50 per hour.
Pilots are our own worst enemies.
