It's numbers like this that will keep you at the bargaining table forever.....

Yeah.. We don't even get that luxury until maybe April 2009 now.

It's time we all started acting and take what's ours. NMB won't give it to us. Nobody will. It's just like life. If you want something, YOU have to get it.

It's time we started forming up together and getting this place slowed down.

DANCRJ: That's awesome. But we need everybody or atleast a good 45%-65% of the captains (and FOs) to do it for it to have some sort of an effect on the company.

Also we can't get scared by our V-files every time we check in and find a new memo.

If anybody has an idea how to make sure we're getting everybody and uniting people on to doing it, please speak up.

Arrange some 'safety first' meetings at your Strike Center

Safety is critical. I noticed recently that the placard above the ADG door that says "danger keep away" is becoming quite worn and somewhat unreadable on much of the fleet. After a few incidents involving the ADG deploying on the ground, it is critical to our ramp crew's safety that we ensure this placard is readable.

Is Colgan included in this? It says PNCL Corp

DANCRJ

nevermind.

I think OJ means is Colgan included in the on time performance for the press release, not in any "safety"/contract stuff.

This is the last part of an email I just got from 9E MEC:

Very soon a specially designed lapel pin will be delivered to each and every one of you. It is a visible reminder of our unwavering commitment to each other and our unfailing dedication to reach a fair contract. I request that all pilots wear this new pin to demonstrate to management that our unity will not be broken through the passage of time or with a heavy hand. Our struggles to achieve what is fair and right are not yet complete, and like our forefathers of the early Labor Movement, we will continue to fight for what we deserve until we prevail. In Unity, Captain Scott EricksonMaster Executive Council, Chairman

Man, we are really violent.....a pin??? yeahhh......let's managment HAVE IT !

I'm sorry guys, I really support ALPA but right now I don't want to hear about no pin. Unity is very important, but it's got to work for action, not just for words. We are really frustrated. A pin won't bring us a new contract.

P.S. I'm sure I'll end up wearing it, but right now I just don't want to hear nothing that doesn't bring solutions.
