Basically Pierce was trying to end run the 3 way negotiations and screw UAL-ALPA and let's not forget how CAL-ALPA forced pay banding the 767-400 with a 747-400 by threatening to walk out on negotiations indefinitely


And how 'bout

- a real day of classroom training and pay for Sabre instead of online nonsense.
- iPad training to be introduced post fact.
- extended time and pay for online classes
plus numerous other safety syllabus issues like engine out procedures.


What's really amazing is how much CAL pilots have put up with and how long it's going to take to get the lunacy under control. What part of the pilot group thought training online at home was an ok. idea? I know, you'd rather do it on your time at home than in a classroom . . . I get it . . . I don't agree with it though. And, I'll go on record right now that I think the company will end up paying UAL-ALPA for violating the UPA with System Bid 14-02 as there is a grievance filed just last month that will take some time to work it's way through.
