To call them losers because you have issues with the final product is way over the top.
As for Morrison, he was on the negotiating committee for a time but was not part of the group that negotiated the DHL CBA of 2008, where it was agreed that ALPA would abandon its scope litigation against DPWN. I know this to be true. I was there. What GeauxPro said was patently false.
Sorry for employing cliches, by the way. I guess you're more comfortable with malicious misrepresentations of peoples' character?
You've met them? Nice, you want a cookie?
I've worked under their "If you don't vote for it, we're in no mans land and also we'll quit" contract for five years. Whether they are personally losers or not is not material. They are losers as far as their ability to negotiate and write blackandwhite language.
Morrison, you mentioned him by name, not me. Morrison was part of the DL LOA that snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. That's enough for me.
It's all matter of degree my friend, all a matter of degree.
Oh, one more thing. The DTW crowd was whining about the lack of Spirit longevity our new MEC Chairman possesses, but you guys are perfectly happy with the Morrison. Morrison has just marginally more Spirit longevity than the MEC Chairman. Hypocrites abound.
