Middle a good guy you must be, bravo. But don't you ever wonder why the Company fired the 49ers in the first place? What has 10 long boring years of industrial action achieved? Do you really believe the Company will negotiate with the current leadership? Even if all the pilots who support the pit bulls and their leaders go along with increased militancy do you think the company will suffer? Mate, all these are reasonable questions which you must consider before hanging yourself out to dry as well. The 49ers are martyrs of union ineptitude and they will not be coming home under the current situation. This is of course very sad but true. The only way forward was to elect a new committee, stop all action, make a concession or two and get back to the table. It is not only the 49ers who have my sympathy, but the hundreds more to follow if the union is not very, very careful.
