They are very friendly, aren't they? You see this a lot at the local level to. FACREP just enamored that theyre friends w the ATM and couldn't dream of "going to war" with them over something like contract violations. Wouldn't want to jeopardize that special relationship or lose any of that implied power.
Agree in part but this pragmatic straight talk is a far cry from the reality. Open NATCA facebook or Twitter and see most posts are about SJW pet causes that have exactly 0.0 to do with ATC in any even remote or abstract way you can stretch it. Straight up machine party politics and falling in line. A "right winger" as you call them, could easily get on board with many things that actually have to do w the NAS.
BTW theyre looking for photgenic members to hold up a sign that says "National don't discriminate against Bikers under 6'5" who ERRed from Addison and Are expecting a child month". Greta Thunberg is supporting it so u know its super woke and will be a whose who of activists there to mingle with. She doesnt say much shes a little special but she'll let you braid her hair and you might get on the cover of one of AFL CIO's monthly newsletters. Do it as a favor to Mr Trumka? Afterwards there'll be an ice cream social w Trish and some of the "women of natca" who were prominently featured in most posts of the past several months.
