Gettinbumped;
You misspoke on one big item. Nobody, NOBODY, stole anything from us in bankruptcy. We voluntarily gave it up, under the recommendation of our ALPA leadership, which includes every @#$%ing knucklehead that is currently running UAL ALPA, on both sides of the current dogfight. But, as individuals, we each cast a vote. And every giveaway in bankruptcy was voluntary, as a huge majority voted "yes".

The reason you are all (sorry, I left) in this predicament is you don't have the cajones to stand up for yourselves. You talk big on this forum, but when push comes to shove, and your jobs are on the line, you capitulated. Every time.

My recommendation? A Saddam or Hitler style "purge". Vote every single current member of your LEC out, and direct them to vote every single MEC member out. All of them. Not a single one, no matter how "nice", or charismatic. Gone. Only then will you effect change.

A fresh start.

Maybe then, someday, my 4100 seniority number will be worth coming back to. Right now, I would rather flip burgers at Micky D's than work at UAL.
