That's not even close to true .. I have the lists. Not gonna quibble over that though. As far as negotiating two seperate agreements, you MUST realize that this is our one chance to actually leverage the company and get an industry leading contract ? Big summer schedule, thinly spread manning. If we stay united as a pilot group, we can get our contract. Let the gnashing of teeth begin later when he join seniority lists.
I see leverage in schedule/pilot manpower yes (lack of pilots).
But, I don't see enough unity to use that leverage succesfully.
Too many idiots at botht the UAL table and CAL table.
Where is ALPA National????? Charlie Palmers again.....................
I do see enough leverage for UAL to go out and get a CBA, and for CAL to go out and get one. No way Obama lets us walk. He's too scared of economic numbers in the short run to mess with this. He won't do it unless it's a sure-thing/slam dunk. If the white house sends out signals that it is aware of our problems and is prepared to let us walk, then naturally things change..............Obama.....what say you?
