According to you. John was negotiating committee chair and Mike was strike committee chair. Most of the people that you hate that do ALPA work were all working on the strike committee at that time. Neither John nor Mike was allowed to communicate to the pilots without extensive review from the MEC administration so you can shelve the idea that he alone did anything. C2K was the result of a massive team effort. Some have tried to set themselves up as singular heroes that won the day by themselves, but those of us that were there know what really happened. If John was so super valuable then where is he now, I mean other than sitting on the sidelines and throwing rocks. If John really believed in union effort, he would pitch in even if he isn't the lead dog. If you are only part of a team when you are the leader then you are not a teammate, you are a narcissist. Let's face it, no one is indispensable to the union. What counts is working together and accepting the fact that you alone are not in control. That is why you webboard warriors are so frustrated. You have some self important view that if only everyone did what you said, the world would revolve around you. It won't and never will.

You just selectively see heroes and goats based on who agrees with you in the last 20 seconds. From my viewpoint you are all anger with no strategic vision. If someone like you were put in charge you would get chewed up in a second. This is multi-billion dollar business. Your type of anger and vitriol isn't worth jack in this environment. I mean you value open honest, communication, so here it is with no gift wrapping. I'm sure that makes me a mean guy; or maybe just an honest one that doesn't care too much what you think of me.
