You have accurately stated what the issue and the grievance is about.
It is sad to me that Pierce (and you possibly) would pull out and withdraw support of a grievance process which will in the end benefit ALL the pilots of United Airlines.
I am not advocating pulling out of the grievance process at all. I'm all for filing any grievance that either group feels they are entitled to. No problem with that at all which I had hoped the last paragraph had conveyed. If it wasn't clear, my apologies.
For me, I was just tired of hearing comments that CAL pilots took money out of UAL pilots' pockets. One said to me that I and every other pilot in our group stole money that the UAL pilots worked hard to earn. It's not like this pilot group has been sitting back lounging around drinking lattes since the merger announcement, especially given the terrible work rules in the CAL contract.
