The following sentence from management's second letter speaks volumes about their view of us:
Both of you as leaders and your respective MECs could have assured delivery of a good contract on a timely basis for your pilots, and shown leadership by being the first workgroup to reach a joint agreement.
I don't know why, but that comment really ticked me off. It's like when I was younger and did something to upset my mother. She would turn to my dad and say, "You need to talk to your son about his (attitude, actions, etc.)!" It comes across as very similar to that. Could easily have said for "our" pilots which would have implied both sides have a vested interest in the pilot group. Clearly the wording is intended to place the blame squarely on ALPA, our MECs and our chairmen.
