I never argue with anyone trying to do something constructive for this industry just pointing out that nothing will work until there one date and not a bunch of dates floating around most people will shut down and protest if they think it has a chance of succeeding but since, as its been pointed out many times the group that will lead the charge is the O/os and they can ill afford to shut down every time someone mentions a date so they are holding back so they lose money only when it will do some good.

you saw my thread where I was seeing if there was a base that would do something and you also saw the poor showing of the people that were willing to become active, and I wasn't even asking for a commitment on anything just a show of interest.

I do have hope that something can still be put together from the number of views that thread and some other threads on here have had though.

My view is that someone will finally put together a real plan to not only unite the different groups but also since it is going to take more than that such as a plan to get the word out to everyone in a way that they will believe it, which will take much more than just a few threads on a website plus a whole lot of other details for anything to succeed.

think in the terms of a business plan, and anyone that has ever written one knows that a good one takes a lot of thought,time and information to be done right.

don't think that it can be done without any thoughts of money either, I personally have put a fund together from my own money that I will donate to the cause, but so far I have not seen any plan that I am willing to donate too.

so if you really want to put a plan in place you are going to have to take the time to start at the beginning and cover al the bases,right at the moment all i see is the same plans we have seen in the past few months just repackaged and recycled and they have a proven track record of not working.

BTW, I am not bashing,putting down,or belittling any person or idea that is put foreward, just offering constructive criticism, and if I see any plan that I think has even a small chance of succeeding I will jump into it with both feet, and that isn't just talk as more than one on here knows, I have been active in several different plans this year alone, this ain't my first roadeo

I did not mean for this quote to sound like i was putting down TACU, because that was not the way it was intended, only to state that i knew of no such protests or their plans before we created the ideas for the protest. I do visit other web sites to see if there is any plan for action.

There are currently 8 US Airways pilots insisting that they are forced to fly without enough fuel. This is on CNN Headline news today. US Airways is trying to discredit them, but, a lot of people fly, and don't like it already. Security has become difficult and tedious. Now they'll start to wonder if they'll even reach their destinations.

The flyer is basically completed...need to include contact info. I need to know which of your are willing to be listed with contact info on the flyer. I will be listing myself as a contact, but will have my contact info below those of you here wanting to be listed as contacts. Also, I am still working on a statement for this action. Should have this completed tonight...sorry for the time it's taking - having to allocate time for several activities. Luna...I haven't forgotten your idea regarding idling action. I am working on this also. Still doing research...will have this completed this weekend.

Here's the link to the page I've created for the flyer. It's not linked up to anything yet, but can be viewed. As I stated...we need to include contact info and a statement to send out (basically a press release style statement.) To see the flyer as a printed page...select your browser's print preview option or print option. Check it out and give me input, suggestions or a thumb's up.

I like the flyer, it looks great to me, thank you sooooo much for your time. I don't think we need personal contacts on a flyer. Maybe a web site where people can get information but not personal, thats just my opinion

I agree TTW. I'm willing to create an email account (AmericansProtestAroundTheCountry@...) if y'all are in agreement...and I'm willing to field emails. For the website...maybe Bull would be willing to open a sticky for this action which can be used as a website address - Let's see how he feels about that.

Also...I should have a statement done by late tonight. I'll email it to y'all involved to view it before we post it up. To keep y'all off pins and needles...just look for an email in the morning. I'm going to be up very late tonight.

LOL thanks I just know it was 10 times faster to do that than with a regular staple gun. Although I did find it is much more dangerous but we won't go there :-)
