Ground staff have voted in favour of strike action. They have to give 7 days notice before striking though. They are talking about complete walkouts for 24 or 48 hour periods. — Jon Rose, Crawley, West Sussex, England Substition required for e-mail response – usfmdpan is to rambler as ibmmail is to aletrail

HELP FEED THE PILOTS
You’re a few weeks early with that post 
Yes my child, but if the computer industry were driven by the "best" technology Bill Gates would be washing car windows outside the Lincoln Tunnel.
Response:
HELP FEED THE PILOTS It’s just not right. Thousands of pilots in our very own country are living at or just below the six figure salary line. And if that wasn’t bad enough, many of them may go several weeks or months without a paycheck if they are forced by American Airlines management to strike. But now you can help. For about three hundred dollars a day – that’s less than the price of a 25" television set – you can help keep a pilot economically viable during their time of need. Three hundred dollars a day may not seem like a lot of money to you, but to a pilot, it could mean the difference between a vacation fishing in Florida or a Mediterranean cruise. For you, three hundred dollars is nothing more than half a month’s rent or mortgage payment. But, to a pilot, three hundred dollars a day will almost replace his or her salary. Three hundred dollars a day will enable a pilot to upgrade his or her home computer, buy that new 100" television set, trade in the 6 month old Lexus for a Ferrari, or enjoy a dinner (with champagne) at The Mansion. Each month, you will receive a | helping?" complete financial report on the crew | Your pilot will be told that he member you sponsor.
