As you know, the UAL MEC ALPA Master Chairman is a voting member of the United Continental Holdings BOD and has a front row seat to the "latitude" you suggest the CEO has been given.
When contrasting communications, do you want action based on insight and opinion taken from the corporate board, or information provided to the CAL MC by the Sr. VP of flight operations and semi-frequent communication with the CEO? Personally, I'd want action based on a macro-view of the company's BOD level strategic initiatives.
Does your Jay have a front row seat to that?
My point is that UAL MEC may be getting more detailed briefings and information than the CAL MEC. When there is a conflict in the quality of negotiations expressed between the two Master Chairman, I'll take the guy with better information.
It is common knowledge from every nook and cranny that UAL and our "co workers" at the BOD are dragging their feet. My point is, if we are going to have a joint cba, their needs to be a joint aproach.
Do you not agree with that?
What I see are 2 different teams playing against each other for the same trophy.
No way is this going to get done in a JCBA manner. No way.
