What in the world makes UAL pilots think that those of us at CAL who have been suffering and abused by this piece o'dung contract (with all due respect to those furloughed from UAL who have truly suffered) will be bought off by a few bucks on February 14th? Where in the h**l is the logic and reasoning of THAT argument? It escapes me. I'm sick of this prolonged negotiation and management dragging their feet. My expectations have not changed one bit for a new contract but if you think they have maybe you need to get on oxygen because the air you are breathing is obviously too thin for rational thought!
Any TA may get by the MECs but it's the pilot group who will decide the fate. I have no problem voting "no" if it doesn't meet my expectations. I'm not bought off that easily.
The company is not going to negotiate a CBA as long as they have Pierce and know he'll step in and sell you/us out again. Good thing you have the UAL pilots to keep this from happening. You still think the UAL pilot don't want the CAL pilots getting PS. I'll repeat it for your benefit. It was not about the money is was the way Pierce went about getting the money. Not one UAL pilot caused this to happen - It was Pierce!!!!!!!!!
