I misspoke. The LOA only settled the MEC greivance resulting from the hundreds of pay NCC's. Mis speak or not, the substance of my argument stands. You guys keep fighting emotional battles because of what you think happened rather than the reality of what happened.
Nothing personal, but your side of the story was just proven wrong. Might you now accept that everyonce in a while, the people telling you what happened could maybe be as wrong as they tell you my side is? I just gave you truth. They've been giving you their emotional perceptions of a difficult time period. The facts are what they are.
"Someone" wants, needs, for history to show that they were justified in torpedo-ing SPA ALPA's efforts to get a contract in 2007 because "LOA's are flying off the table, they're throwing the contract away" That claim was wrong then and time hasnt changed that fact.
Your contention of the management flying LOA is also incorrect. You wanna rethink your position?
"prevent delayed or inaccurate payments, and to improve the ability of pilots to check and understand their paychecks"
Yeah your right and I'm wrong. Why on every pilot conference call does someone ask about a way to accurately track our pay? We also have prevented inaccurate paychecks with this LOA.
Just out of curiosity. Why don't you just get in bed with J.S. You could then downsize LAS to the current reps seniority and displace them. Worked before
