===========================================================

I agree.
A larger sympathetic "blue state" group in SEA, than "hard core" ANC.

Maybe not enough pilots available at the picketing time?

Pilots in MSP cancel picketing.

Too Cold.

....Well keep in mind that picketing is not the same as a 60 second walk around :cold:

Perhaps, but SEA being one of their hubs, I would imagine that they could scrounge up a few at least.

How soon they forget about everyone else that spends hours out there.

They cancelled picketing? Noooooo! I can't believe it. A little cold weather and the whole thing is called off. They strike such fear in people. If they can't handle informational picketing, they can't handle very much of any kind of picketing. What a really sad bunch. I guess overcoats are a little too expensive for the pilots now.

Is there a minimum number of people needed to hold a picket? Yes, the more the merrier. But all you need is one person one voice to get your message out.

As to the condition of the weather, if that is the true reason the pilots did not picket shame on them.

[/q One person, one voice, is not going to be enough to prevent wage concessions. Got a clue?

AMFA says we screwed you guys out of a job so now we are going to screw the state out of their money. We already have a politician’s pocket lined for you to get benefits we just have to go make a good showing to make it look legit.

You have proof of this "political pocket lining" of course, don't you???


Yea, thats what I thought, just more tired union cliches.

True, but maybe they wanted large numbers in order to make a lager impression (and garner attention from the local media)?
