Since it was Facebook, it was likely a ground worker, mechanic or maybe even a flight attendant posting the CAL pic and rightfully got an overwhelming response from the UAL side counterpart.

From the pilot side we have handled many of these issues! SLI, Contract, etc, exception being the kids and non-ALPA supporters.

The other groups have been in a continuous battle for their jobs. The company removing jobs on the UAL side while increasing the same jobs on the other side. Sure, the UAL side can apply for those jobs at new hire wages and conditions. The company is trying to force older/senior people out.

I understand their actions when they see friends and neighbors forced out of jobs and then have a clown post a picture representing the worst evil they've had in the career. Anybody thinking this is sending the wrong signal to the company needs to evaluate the fights and injustices the ground workers have been evolved in since day one. Every United pilot should be thankful for the L-UAL MEC actions to stop the same actions by Jeff with JP's help.
