I agree Carl, to a certain extent. You guys keeping the bulk of your pensions wouldn't have altered MANAGEMENT'S decision to furlough. It might have affected the time-frame, or the multiple furloughs, but then again, we'll never know. I apologize for the "low blow". I'm a better person than that, and we're all in this together.................sort of. I still think with the vast amounts of group demographics this pilot group has, we need to be more unified than what we're showing.

You were called out by another NWA guy on this forum Carl! (If I recall correctly, his screen name was 330drvr?) I'm looking through your earlier posts now to quote his and your response. JUST SO YOU KNOW I'M BEING FACTUAL IN MY POSITION AND NOT EMOTION BASED!!

I'll show the same unification efforts that the DPA club is showing when they stand behind the same bargaining agent UNTIL AFTER section 6 negotiations are complete this time.

When is that going to happen? (Hint: Not holding my breath.)
Fly safe,
