When you do, I'll gladly buy you lunch and we can have a "real" conversation. And that offer is open to all of you.
I really, truly hope you don't get furloughed again. Or anyone on the L-XJT side for that matter. But if it happens, you have no one to blame but your MEC for their pigheadedness, not us, and not management.
I would happily sit down with you and discuss this properly, face to face. I doubt in person your are as obtuse and immature as you are on here and I would hope we can have a real conversation about these matters.
Just don't come on here or on the Pipe expecting a friendly reaction when you conduct yourself in such an explosive way towards the L-XJT pilot group. We are not happy with our MEC, they are being needlessly cagey on certain matters and there have been events in recent weeks that have even drawn some to talk about starting an independent union. We don't want this to be a painful union, we don't want to be the next USAir. Maybe you could be less inflammatory in your future posts? I'm sure in person you are a good guy, but on here you come across as really being a guns blazing screw L-XJT type. We've merged, now let's merge the best of our contracts and move forwards as one. However, if the offer on the table isn't as good as our current contract and work rules, don't expect us to give our current concessionary contract up for something worse.
