If the company’s TEAMSTERS strike, the PILOTS will strike??

YESSSS!!!

...Lemme put this in context.  Airlines are HURTING FOR PILOTS.  Flying is a very expensive hobby, and it’s very expensive to get a pilot’s license.  

It used to be just about anybody could do that, but *gestures at minimum wage vs inflation* (federal minimum wage is around $8, yet we now need $28 to survive, folks, it’s gotten that bad) so of COURSE people aren’t able to become pilots!

And the Air Force, et al, aren’t flying as many planes because they’re investing more in drones than in pilots, so you can’t go into the military hoping to become a pilot that way, getting the military to pay for your training... (Plus there are hundreds and hundreds of people serving groundcrew for every single pilot, so the odds were always low to begin with.)

So combine all of that with the fact 3,300 pilots are saying they will also go on strike...

There aren’t enough spare pilots to fully scab their strike.

💬"It's the draft video I sent to the director"

💬"I succeeded with the backflip after practicing like I was going to die but I jumped badly after that and couldn't do it anymore.."

💬 "I wasn't going to send it but I thought you might like it so I'm sending it anyway although it's still missing thanks for watching so much😉"

💬"There were a lot of changes in the choreography, there are a lot of movements that I changed during the recording while monitoring too so... It's something different🙃"
