Also, interesting to note that two Grievances related to last years profit sharing appear just about finished. The first having been decided in favor of UAL-ALPA and the second was awaiting the first for clarification meaning it too will go in favor of UAL-ALPA and against the company and Jay Pierce. Both of these outcomes were in spite of ALPA national and the UAL Chairman who did not support either grievance initially. So it will be even more interesting to see what happens with this latest grievance against system bid 14-02, as it appears UAL-ALPA does not support it either.

Oh, the tangled webs we weave . . .
