Some of CM's quotes:

"The Senior Mediator was convinced months ago that we were at an impasse, but it wasn't until the Company stated they needed more time for their Compensation counter proposal that the "Regular Mediator" became aware that there had arrived at an impasse."

"Dan S. talks to the Mediators and NMM regularly."

"There has NEVER been a time that the NMB went against the Mediator's recommendation"

‘There is a lot going on behind the scene by IBT National that will ensure that we prevail.’ Single quotes representing it’s not a direct quote, I don’t think CM uses the word “prevail.”

I vote to fire the entire Negotiating Committee, including Wilder and recall our "appointed" President (there was no election so one can hardly say he was "elected") and ExCo.

Maybe this time around there will be more than 7 pilots out of our ~2,000, that might be willing to step up for the 7 positions.

CM has been blowing smoke up our bottoms long enough and don't forget he said on a conference call that "He had to take care of his MEA Brothers." Is that why IBT is paying MEA's legal expenses in the Bloch contract arbitration and all other legal matters?

IMO, the ExCo’s false statements (especially from CM), caused immense false expectations, borders on a DFR suit.

That's right, our dues and our two assessments are going to pilots that will displace us.

And, it's my understanding that we had 20 pilots show up at the Shareholder's meeting and 20 show up at LGA, picketed until it started drizzling and went home. Is that true? 40 pilots out of 2,000 participated?

It IS time for action, but I believe that change HAS to begin with dismissing those that led us to believe they actually knew what they were doing on the ExCo and the NC.

Dan S. and Wilder are such good buddies that it makes one wonder what the extent of their relationship is.

EVERYTHING the ExCo has told us has been proven to be a misdirection, overly optimistic or an outright lie.
