Hopefully not, because the airline that is being struck should not be flying. Therefore, there would not be any passengers.where do you protest? Is it ever in front of paying passengers at major airports?
Does anyone come up and ask about it? Is there any benefit gained in the public picketing v. doing it at shareholder meetings?Hopefully not, because the airline that is being struck should not be flying. Therefore, there would not be any passengers.
But, usually picketing events are in front of the airport in various places (all dependent on the individual airport) and in front of the corporate HQ. Also, they will be held at shareholders' meetings.
Most airports limit picketing events to a specified number of picketers and specified places in the airport. I have only picketed at IAH and EWR so I only know those two. IAH let us picket at curb-side check-in, inside ticketing, baggage claim, and passenger pick-up with a maximum of ten picketers per group. We had hundreds of pilots show up so we alternated every ten or so minutes.
A few folks would ask and most were genuinely curious. As far as public picketing goes, most companies would rather not have the public embarrassment.

You could but, it would not be considered professional. Pilot picketing events are much different than those of other trades. We do not chant, shout, or make any other noise. What we do is march in a line or a racetrack pattern, in uniform, and hold a sign with what our beef is. It looks very militaristic.so you guys can't put a shirt on that has a message of what your airline is doing to it's own employees. Then go buy a burger from mcdonalds so that you are not trespassing sit there and eat slowly
