Perhaps, but from the sound of things, it's not about wanting to see a COMPLETE TA before voting. They will have ALL the information they need before they vote. Of course they will have the final version of the TA, the LOA's, and the "retro distribution" before they vote. In the meantime, they have 25 sections of a TA in front of them that is finished and need in review. They are spending OUR dues money down there. IMHO they can and should be starting the review process instead of sitting around playing politics.

What you are suggesting is that they aren't capable of reviewing the finished sections now while they wait for the other issues to be arbitrated? If that's true they shouldn't be pilots because this isn't an advanced level of multi-tasking.

I think it's pretty clear that they are waiting to see what the arbitrator says about the $$ distribution. If it doesn't go JP's way, I fully expect him to delay the TA review, hence my USAirways East comment.

Just for a little comparison: If the arbitrator sides with JP, I'll accept that decision, and I hope my reps will too. This despite the fact that JP already AGREED to a distribution method, and now at the 11th hour he's changing his mind and holding the TA review ransom. That's the type of behavior I expect from management, not my "fellow" pilots. This isn't a bash at CAL pilots in general, once again, it's just SOME OF your union leadership playing games which is directly at the expense of the UAL pilots. If you find that statement offensive, ask yourself how you would look upon JH and the some members of the UAL MEC if they suddenly announced that they were holding up the review of the TA until our pension was re-instated to be equal with the CAL contract despite previously agreeing to leave it out. Something smells down there in PHX
