Nothing here at SEA, but then we have had AFA pickets a few times which did not disrupt operations in any way from this station.

I wish AFA's membership would get rid of their own CEO instead of Tilton. He's done more to ensure their long-term employment (even if it isn't as grand as before) then pretty much any other CEO.

And the morons at the top know if they get Tilton fired, then UA has to spend more money to get a replacement which means more concessions so AFA management will then bleat even more and try and get them removed.

I know AFA management wants themselves as CEO so they can then empty the cash reserves to give out seven-figure bonuses to the FAs and then file C7 and call it a career, but sheesh.

I know the FAs are not idiots, but you sometimes have to wonder why they let their union management—who are idiots—continue to pull this kind of crap, knowing that all it does is weaken their own employment security and benefits.

And it's not just the FAs and AFA. If the employees didn't allow their unions to scare away hundreds of millions a year in revenue, they might still have a pension, wages greater then minimum, and some health benefits.
