I dont believe the vast majority of CAL pilots are going to push to remove PIerce or " join us" just because UA folks are upset and calling for his head. Its not a matter of weakness, understanding or lack of desire for unity. I believe it has to do with we determine our elected reps and even removal, not another entity. A few months, UA attempted to recall Morse, and suspect, if it had occurred, many would have cried a "conspiracy" to divide UA, pit pilot groups and delay the JCBA. We had the same on our side as well. Both of our unions have been and are dysfunctional and have our idiots(5%) and it and they are alive and well, so to hear the constant bashing from my third cousin, whom I use to fight, just a few years ago..is useless noise. It ultimately divides more than unify. The company name is UNited, but we will not be one group, joined together until we can respect each group as a whole, both now and when we are one UNION, barrage jam the 5% that only seek to divide and have outlived their usefulness to the New United and demand accountability in your LC and MEC for their actions or lack thereof....if we look to clean our own house first, we may have a chance going forward

Finally, hope both pilot groups can see through the smoke screen of this PS issue and the silence of some elected reps....much of this issue has to do with posturing for power, control and direction of the future 12K United pilot group. Believe me, their are folks both CAL and UA strategizing on their next position...
