Seriously, though, what can one do? Agreed we need to defend our conditions, however pilots are more concerned arguing over petty things... "we shoud be paid 5:30h for a uniform fitting..." rather than important issues! I mean there is more argument over uniforms and hotel changes than a year late EBA!

The majority leave union meetings alone because they are filled with bureaucratic BS. Hours of arguments about minutes and the validity of proposals on whether certain opinions have a right to be aired. A good sedative for insomniacs.

Like any business venture, goals need to be defined and plans developed.

1) Protect existing conditions
2) Concentrate on the things that matter!
3) Maintain recognition of pilots as professionals
