Hilarious! In a "round about manner"? Really? Your rep did NOT email this to you, therefore he isn't lying...you are by posting it. Linda Puchala did NOT say we are too big to strike. She didn't say that. Not in a "round about" way, or any other way.

Again, not even in a "round about manner" did she mention DPA or threaten inaction if the pilot group used their lawful right to vote for new representation. You're lying.

A. If there is a PEB, the President will put you back to work.
She said the President will very likely put you back to work...not will put you back to work.

B. After a PEB the Delta pilots might think that congress would never be able to act fast enough to put us back to work through legislation. Linda said, put that out of your mind. The legislation is written with the Delta pilot's name already filled in the blank.
Pure BS. Linda never said anything close to that. No NMB member would speak on behalf of Congressional leaders that way. Not even in a "round about manner."

Your post underscores the need for everyone's BS detector to be on high alert. It is shameful how you are trying to characterize our process that may include the NMB as a no-win situation for labor. And as such, you think we must surrender before the NMB gets here. You may not have used those exact words, but you've certainly said so...in a "round about manner".
