^ Great post...
I've said this for a month+ now.. we could have a JCBA Passed tomorrow with everything we wanted PLUS 10%.. this operation wouldn't be fixed.

At this point, the problems are so far beyond just a pilot JCBA.

I (and most of the pilots I know).. still do our required job. I make the call to maintenance, I make the call to Ops, etc..
With a JCBA, I might make 2 or 3 calls to them.. still isn't going to fix the problem!
Nope, at this point- just along for the ride. I will stay Professional to/for my passengers till the day I retire. I will try and be nice/help out my fellow employees (with the caveat that- you get what you give).

But I don't say that I'm a "United Pilot".. I still say, when asked- "I fly for Continental".
Maybe someday, after a JCBA/SLI & New Management, I'll say "United".. but until then~

Anyway, off my soapbox.

Always
