The beginning of the end?

I don't even know how to start this new thread... .

Another thread regarding the AFA and the threat of a strike was started some time ago. However, the following seems even more worrying:

http://www.unitedafa.org and http://www.unitedafa.org/res/b/n/prez_ltr_20041105.asp

I know that many of us just want to tell the flight attendants: "If you don't want to work, then just quit", but I doubt that many even care. I think it comes down to being together as a team, even if it means striking as a team, pushing the airline further down into liquidation as a team.

I don't like to think about it too much, but it seems a little as though United is coming closer and closer to a brink - even though several days ago I thought that UA was far from it.

So now my question is - what can we do? Hand out fliers on planes? - the FA's will probably spit in our food, the gate agents will bump us from flights, and the baggage handlers will destroy our luggage.

Write nice notes that we hand out at the end of the flight, asking the FA's to stay "United"?

Write a letter to the AFA?

There must be SOMETHING we can do!

I definately don't want "CHAOS"!
