OM/JB...
I need to correct you (and others) about the above statement. And since I was at the meeting, I feel I have a right to speak (write).
Two LUAL Furloughs/CAL Newhires were asked to leave when TM (part of the LCAL Merger Committee) got up to do a presentation and Q&A. No one was "tossed out of a union meeting".
The two pilots in question made no fuss... didn't object nor did Rob S (LUAL NYC VC) complain. They were out of the room for maybe 15 mins.
Had they said something.. I would image the outcome would have been different.
On numerous forums/threads, the phrases "Kicked Out" and "Tossed" has been used. That is just not true and is sensationalizing what happened.
We have a long way to go before there is unity with this new, combined Pilot Group. Come Tues (Aug 27) we will see which names are on the ballot and hopefully continue to make small steps towards Unity.
But pilots continuing to write posts about something that they were not actually at does not help. Just my opinion~
