I wasn't name calling. Just pointing out that I feel this is not a well thought out move. I'm concerned because there is strength in numbers and splitting from 1224 seriously fractures the group.

If you were to look at our situation from a management (DHL, Amazon, airline management, whatever) point of view, which would you rather have to face every few years during contract negotiations: Two or three different (and possibly at war with each other) unions, or one union where all the major players are also in the same local??

We are far stronger together than apart.

The ABX strike last fall was a pretty good example of how we can work effectively when unified. The union (at ABX) went on strike and the 1224 pilots at the other carriers knew virtually at the same time as the ABX pilots what to do. I was glad to walk the line with the ABX 1224 folks because I knew that we have a common adversary and unity is the best way to confront them.
