Revisionist history. There are any number of well documented sources that give Pat Friend's side of the story.
You guys are a funny bunch when it comes to your history when dealing with other unionized groups. AFA, the Fromtier pilots, Air Wisconson. Even your own, throwing 1,400 pilot under the bus, failed ESOP, not to mention the retirement debacle.
Now personally I really don't care if you guys want to whitewash your somewhat sorted history but blaming everything that happens at this airline on some fictional CAL mentality is really getting old.
