That way, when I question my guys (and gal) I can point to a specific person.
It's my understanding you have 6 different councils, with FO & Capt Reps plus Sec Treas...
When I directly questioned your Council 11 Sec Treas in IAD last Wed (Apr 25th) about a meeting with Jay P.. he backed off of his statement.
He stated that Jay P has been invited to meetings with your MEC Chair, and he refused. When I asked him directly-
"Are you saying that your MEC Chair, Jay Heppner.. invited Jay Peirce to a meeting to discuss the fact that the UAL MEC was going to be putting out an announcement requesting release.. just after agreeing to a June 15th timeline with the company?!"
His answer was.. "um, no".
Think it's kinda important that we try to stick with facts as much as possible, because all these rumors will do nothing more that break us further apart.
That's also why Emails are King! Hard to deny something you put on paper, with your name to it.
Motch
PS>If your MEC is anything like ours (and from what I've read and heard.. it is), what one council says and does may be very different than what another council says and does... on some issues.
Agreed. A friend of mine just got off the phone to our Capt Rep who said there was no truth to the rumor that JP had talked to the NMB. I forwarded him JP's blast mail posted here in which he says he did just that. It was a real eye opener about how much our individual reps actually know. It's also a reason why I appreciate that guys post the releases from their MEC's and MC's. It keeps things a little more honest. I fear that too many times on both sides, our MEC's are posting things that they want us to hear to further their position.... Not necessarily what is most accurate. Seeing the CAL and UAL MEC statements here allow us to pin out reps down with tough questions.
