HUCK -
Good analogy. The oil-rig worker doesn't have to quit/retire at 60, either. Coffee / smoke breaks are sacred. Max shift = 12 hours.
Remembering the common philosophy that a contract is 90% to protect pilots from their fellow pilot, McCain fits into the picture. Watch that guy!
I'll be shocked to see a movement for pilots to upgrade their civil rights to that of a bus driver.
Emergency Revocations, Mandatory Retirement, Mandatory Overtime, Mandatory 'Bank' Time??? Hey, something is really wrong in this picture!
