"Although we are all coming together as pilots of United Air Lines, the Continental pilots’ different history and culture provide a unique and valuable perspective. The views of over **** pilots from *** must be articulated to the new MEC in a clear and concise manner. We must work together with our L-UAL brother and sisters, while advocating for Continental pilots when necessary. We have all seen the L-UAL representatives advocate for their pilots throughout the entire merger process and I fear that will not end with the combining of the MEC. A strong, rational representative voice is what you deserve and I will provide that."

You did read the above was a quote from a person running for Capt representative for a new Northeast Council? I don't know if he was one of JP's boys or not but he hasn't accepted the reality of today's United pilot makeup. Do you think he could get elected?
