I was merely commenting on your contract statement. I have heard to many times at 9E guys talk about how the company couldn't do this or that because of our "extended feed contract". I tried to explain feed contracts (just like 9E's and industry wide) and other union / employee JCBA's aren't worth the paper they are printed on unless the company wants them to be. This is do to the MANY out clauses the top dogs write in to protect themselves. So I apologize if I came off as brash, sometimes people's lack of knowledge is frustrating.
I agree 100% with you, I try to fight for the industry from top to bottom even if I have no dog in the fight. As far as this UAL / UAX BS there isn't much we can do. I have contacted a few people both mainline and within my company. Apparently no one wants to fight this yet...
