Seriously, it's in the transcripts.

You guys need to quit acting like the CAL pilots are writing this stuff and putting words in the SLI committees mouth. We're not. But, here's a surprising fact: the CAL SLI committee is trying to get the best result for the CAL pilots. That's what we want them to do. Here's another surprising fact. The UAL committee is trying to get the best result for the UAL guys.
I want them to do that too. It's their job. Why do people not get this. It's a bunch of LAWYERS arguing their cases. Lawyers lie, cheat, steal, and do whatever they need to do to prove their case. They are like criminals themselves. No offense to the criminals out there.
In all seriousness, let the committee's do their work. Quit reading the transcripts all day. It will drive you crazy. The list will be somewhere in the middle of the two proposals. Always is. That's why it goes to arbitration.
Cheers Stoops. I look forward to flying with you all in a few months when I get back. Hopefully, we can help make this airline into one of the best in the world. Though we're going to need help from management.
