Well Snarge, at least you have the guts to admit you voted Yes.
But my post was directed at Staller (I'm assuming a Legacy United Pilot) who stated that Jay Pierce, and only he.. is responsible for the fact that we will now be seeing 70 new Large RJ's on property starting next year.
Not Hep, Not ALPA National, not the YES Voters.. one individual, Jay Pierce.
I Voted NO for numerous reasons.. one of them including SCOPE.
These new RJ's are coming without any corressponding New Small NarrowBody Aircraft (no matter what Trip7 states..).
Yes, at some point this New SCOPE may butt against restrictions that might help us.. but in the near term, and as far as I can see.. this does nothing for the combined Pilot Group.
Come Aug/Sept we can try and put the SLI behind us and get ready for the next battle. Who runs the union and what actually becomes of our union.
No matter what I do, I see the next 3-5 years as being one struggle and battle after the next. All we can do if our jobs, and enforce our contract.
Now, back to our regularly scheduled *****fest~
Always

PS> Latest rumors at ground school is that the IT implementation is still way behind, and that we're still looking at separate (but equal.. lol!) ops going into the latter part of 2014!
That and the rumor of the SFO 73 base opining up sometime after SLI~
