This is exactly what I was talking about. I'll let the above facts speak for themselves. You sure can alienate people, even supporters. Maybe I'm silent because you talk enough for 10 people. Carl, please re-read my story regarding the letter and forum guy. That one guy really did kill the union drive. Take a step back and at least consider my advice. Your a long way off from being "that guy" but you are heading in his direction. FACT is, I've seen this before and I'm actually trying to help you, and more importantly, the drive.

Attendance was much greater for the 44 meeting. This administration allows WAY MORE questions to be asked from us members.

Talked about FPL, scope, alaska (sorry George, same ol' garbage about LAX), air france jv and the effect of Iberia joining. Either we will have to grow back to 50% or the European partners will have to drop some flying. example...SEA-CDG recently announced by us.

Resolution on the election timeline for negotiators...increasing the lead up time to openers.

Sick calls from CP office.

Anger management....we have more guys yelling at agents, rampers ect...(forums!! hehe).

Lots of chatter about pay, or lack thereof. Audience wants the company to "show us the money!!!!!" I LOVED the new catchphrase from the guy up front. Maybe ACL remembered it.....something to do with 'thanks' being in cash.

A few incognito DPA supporters asking good questions.

Overall, a better meeting than in the past.
