What is "mind-blowing" to me is the number of pilots who cannot see how their attitudes and actions (or inaction) play right into managements hands during THE pivotal moment in our careers. They cannot see how the JCBA will be adversely affected and cannot see the train pointed right at them.

I used to optimistic about this combined airline and what could be achieved IF the majority of the pilots were the least bit educated WRT to labor issues and managements hatred of a unionized, organized pilot group. But what I read here has me completely bamboozled.

Now I don't see a contract any time soon. I see angry UAL pilots commuting to IAH and angry CAL pilots commuting to ORD, DEN and perhaps SFO and the continued assault on our careers by UCAL. And I see pilots helping them in their assault and then complaining about the failures of ALPA.

It's amazing.
