Fire their a$$es. I’m sure there are others out there who would like to have a job and work for a living instead of being an unpaid professional protester.

Yup. They enjoy making whitey go to the x ray machine. Kinda’ like payback to ‘da man’.

You’ve got to have enough IQ to yell at people with ‘PUT THE DAMN SHOES INTO THE TRAY! THE GRAY PLASTIC TRAY!!”

Lot of ‘em are crying about making $8.50/hour cleaning airliners, etc. If they want better pay, they need to bring upgraded skills to their employer, not insist on more money for unskilled labor. Morons led by retards.

I quit flying commercial in July 1996, righte TWA-800 was shot down, and it was covered-up. If I can’t get there driving, I don’t need to go there.

Imagine if they protested at a crackhouse or staged a boycott.
