I agree with what you say, but how did smart guys like yourself allow pierce get to the level he is within the MEC. He'd walk over the backs of every cal and UAL pilot out there to get ahead personally.

I saw him at the DEN roadshow for contract. While working the room he gets in a pi$$ing contest with a UAL guy. He later said he felt threatened and asked for security to remove the UAL guy. "His way of winning". Is this the way he got to power at cal? The UAL side will not tolerate people like pierce.

Maybe after SLI is over we can figure a way to kick him to the curb. I think jeff has found him not as useful as in the past and he'll have few places to go within management.
