I started this thread with 3 stories 2 of which I have personal and intimate knowledge of, and you are not refuting or discussing any of them or why you feel their is or is not a cultural difference. Your attack is simply personal and is doing exactly that which you accuse me of . . . "righteous indignation."
Provide facts and I will apologize for anything of which I have misspoken.
AND
you hide behind anonymity at least in this post. Why not contact me personally with the "facts", and set me straight. You'll find I'm actually a very reasonable individual and not prone to sudden judgement.

Joe, you are talking about grievance proceedings and extrapolating out possible award outcomes that only a select few are qualified to speak about, and they are not talking. Neither should you.
Your anecdotal stories, otoh, do speak to the perceived cultural differences that are to be expected when merging. Something that has occurred numerous times at CAL, and is probably why CAL pilots don't start new threads every time they feel dissed by the "other" side's csr/mechanics/ramper/fa/pilot when transiting one of "their" hubs. Feathers will be ruffled, opinions will be made and changed, the world will keep spinning. All the finger pointing about who did what procedure/operation/checklist better serves little purpose other than to foster a sense of entitlement, indignation, or rage if reports are true about fisticuffs breaking out in ORD recently.
