SoCalGuy,

Don't let the ALPAistas from UAL ruffle your feathers. They are definitely the fringe element these days. More and more pilots spend almost as much time bashing UA-ALPA as they do UA-MGMNT. In fact the line of distinction between the two is very faint when it comes to motives.

My pure and simple take on Jay Pierce is he is infinitely better able to lead the combined carrier than our short list of misfits waiting to step up to the plate.

In fact I would suggest a question for the pure ALPAites from UA would be to ask them their opinion of our MEC Vice Chairman Gary Kravit. The pure and simple fact that this piece of human excrement has floated to the top of the ALPA cesspool speaks volumes about how dysfunctional we are as a group.

We now have a public airing on the UA side of inside bickering and infighting at the MEC. What a disgrace this group has become.

On a brighter note. Had the chance to get together with some CO crews on layovers recently. Great group and really had some good laughs and look forward to sharing cockpits with you guys. Hopefully sooner rather than later.
