I'm trying to see what you bring to the table to help the UAL/CAL pilots - I don't see anything. You walked into a good contract because your management wanted to make it work - not because LM did some fancy bargaining. I don't think he offered up the NWA pilots, but he didn't get in the way to protect their rights either. The NWA pilots had a gun to their heads and will never be your friend - they'll tolerate you though.

Believe it or not but the only thing the Delta pilot have on the UAL pilot is pay. We still beat you hands-down on working conditions. I believe your work rules may even be worst than CAL's, but we are going to fix CAL's and the pay issues as well.

LM is not the wizard you make him out to be. Have you noticed how the PAC funds have been decreasing since he took office. Your efforts to decertify ALPA may be wasted as LM is NOT doing a good job of representing the profession and is helping it die a slow death. We are 2 years into this and you think it's "chest thumping" that's delaying the process - enjoy your pat raise!
