Not only did CAL pilots finance the day to day operation for the merger and finance/fund the ability of the furloughed and unemployed 1400 pilots to come back to work and do so ahead of them, but ALPA absorbed all of the finances of IACP to put in the war chest to use against CAL pilots.
So, your right. No one like a sore loser. But, no one especially likes dishonesty and false sales pitch. Now, we've got these people on the outside of the window looking in complaining and somehow I don't feel any sorrow for them.
ALPA had no problem taking our dues money to use against us, and ALPA had no problem absorbing the millions of dollars we had set aside for contract negotiations, and most assuredly ALPA had no problem in using our money against us and give 1400 pilots a windfall at our expense.
Unity Baby! Pass it around.
I challenge you to post your name to these accusations of tampering by ALPA and the arbitrators. You are toeing the line for libel. Unless of course your allegations are based in fact, in which case you have nothing to worry about. I'm also curious if you are so confident that ALPA national somehow rigged the SLI why you don't sue? What you are suggesting is TOTALLY illegal and would result in a significant reward, new SLI with soaring LCAL seniority, and probably jail time.
The "loser" was your lawyer, Katz. As usual he botched the seniority list case by going so far in the weeds that the arbitrators didn't have anything to go on other than the LUAL proposal. As I mentioned before, most of us at LUAL also feel like we got the shaft. We just stopped whining about it a couple of years ago.
If what you are suggesting is fact, and ALPA is out to get the CAL pilots, then surely we would have taken back the profit sharing money you illegally received when we won the grievance.
You're so deep in left field you're out of the stadium
