I've never seen a pilot union negotiate. I don't expect to see one now.
The vice parroted Parker's negotiating position.
The LAX reps kneecapped the union's counter.
The prez encouraged direct negotiating.
The APA negotiating chairman openly parroted Parker's negotiating position.
The members are begging the BOD to react to Kirby's negotiating letter.
The Crew News Gospel is believed by the majority.
I now understand why some "union leaders" turncoat...It's the only way to be unmoored from a bunch of ignorant wannabes that couldn't negotiate their way out of wet tiisue handcuffs.
Happy New Year!
And with union "friends" like you guys AA73, EF, who needs enemies. Look who turned out to vote....not that anyone really cares. Over one thousand pilots in each domicile. Yeah, APA has your back.
