My main concern here is that Dave Zullo is friends with Jay Pierce. This needs to be watched. Zullo's got the data. Ask him!

Give him a shout and ya'll can talk polling data and scope. Jeffey has him on speed dial.

To a degree, I would have to say I see Otto's point.
Example as recent as this year....There are member's/parts of the Grievence Comm. who have actually said that Zullo is a
'good guy', he's '
worked' with us on Pilot Grievences (Level 2+). I have NOT heard Adams or Kingman say this, but their worker-bees have.
Read into it what you will/call it paranoid (show me a reason NOT to be right now with all going on), but if there is a "pal-pal" relationship between the CAL-MEC Higher-Up (a'la JP) & the likes of Zullo, that $hit needs to cease. This is strictly business, nothing more, and needs to stay that way. Zullo's made his bed with the 'pilot group', and that's were he sleeps......SOLO.....If I had it my way, for the rest of his career at "UAL".
Has Stivalia NOT taught us enough!?!?.....NEVER forget.

My JCBA would include:
1. 70 percent retro. (full retro is a pipe dream me thinks. Call it a signing bonus or a 4th of July Bonus, call it "rose bud" for all I care.
Alrighty "Huck", have to disagree.
First of all...Everyone's going to have an oppioion on "% of retro-pay", that I will agree upon. To
allow MGT to futher "pick our collective pockets" (along with the Government) by titling "RETRO PAY as a Signing Bonus", NO THANKS. The sum of $$$ attached to "Retro PAY" is just that, PAY. That sum should NOT be taxed as a "Bonus". Stating the obvious, taxes on a "Bonus" vs "Pay" are big, especially with the size of RETRO PAY that most of us expect. This is NOT Profit Sharing, RETRO is the repayment of a loan that is MILES over-due to ALL PILOTS.
End story.....There is a BIG difference in how the "bank-roll" hits our pocket's. I for one refuse to get 'short-changed' by giving the Gov anymore $$$ than I need to, especially on something as simple as to how it's titled within a CBA(J).
