When this strategy first came out months back it was clear to some that CAL ALPA wanted to distinguish its self from S-UAL pilots...It,s painfully obvious now why Fred and his friends, (JP )wanted this done...There are rumors going around that JP has known about JH strategy since January...Remember by JP own admissions he and JH were on speed dial and talked a few time per day shortly after JH took office...Some time in March the communications stopped and the joint meeting never took place. PS grievances were filed against UCH. Now we come to find out that JP wants the grievance against UCH dropped as a condition for any joint MEC meetings to take place....Again this has management hand writing all over it....$40 millions dollars buys a lot of friends if one want to sell its soul to the devil.
