Don't try to make this personal. I want a good contract and will follow the person that can lead us to that end. You may want to start watching over your shoulder, it's possible that LM and JP have put a plan in place to get the CAL contract re-negotiated and then imposed on the UAL side. Remember they did this to NWA. June 15 gives JP and Jeff more than enough time to get it done.
LM a clown? He led the DAL/NWA MEC through a merger, and as a result those NWA guys that you allege he hosed, are sitting with pay rates 26% higher today than they had at the time of the merger. Plus 6% more DC. 32% raise in compensation in 4 years. And if DAL MEC Chairman TO's letter is to be believed, its about to soon go higher still.
Meanwhile, what have you guys done?
I'll take being "thrown under that bus" any day.
