Smile Let's keep this positive

I agree with Da Magic's original post. The best forums are those where pilots actually help each other instead of using middle school playground antics to bully, call names, and put people down. The big point is, you can't blame the pilots for decisions of corporations. Many of the people bashing "scabs" would probably also take the job if they had similar circumstances. Many may have entered the industry at one of the non-union airlines that they then turn around and spend so much time bashing. If someone used to work at one of those places, don't bash the current pilots for being "stupid" if you did the same thing.
With that said, there is a positive way to deal with these issues and educate entry level pilots on the consequences of their choices. If we cannot come together, then we are not helping anything. Those who would seek to keep downward pressure on our pay, benefits, retirement plans, and QOL are the only ones who benefit from our bickering. Let's keep this positive.

Da Magic: Thank you for your vote of confidence and offering monetary support. Hopefully the MEC will find a way for all of us to start doing something as opposed to just talking about doing something. If I hear something, I will let you know.
Easy there chief! I have been nothing but supportive in every other "TSA in the crapper" thread so go ahead and take a step back. When you strip off the sarcasm, what I was getting at was this:
1) If the thread starter is truly and deeply annoyed at the amount of TSA/GJ stuff being posted lately then make an intelligent choice and DO NOT open any thread with TSA and/or GJ in the title.
2) I appreciate the OP's desire to help but this thread is probably better off as part of the other TSA/GJ threads that are going at the present time. At the very least, it would be better served by having a less asinine title.

I know this TSA/GJ stuff has had you on edge Carl but Jesus tap-dancing Christ man, relax! You'll live longer!

Agreed. But he did start the thread. And he offered his help and his (probably) hard-earned money. So don't knock him for it.

yeah i could have, and even considered it. but i feel the issue is a little bit bigger than starting a new thread on APC. it wouldnt have received the attention.

that said, i'm just trying to see a means to an end and if there is a way to help

Just another gojeter trying to justify stabbing their fellow pilots (and the industry) in the back, there's your translation.
