That’s why we are seeing direct appeals to pilots. Kirby has lots on his plate so if he has time to “visit” hubs and talk about scope it means it is important to him.
The only real question: how many will fall for it? (again)
Question for you. I believe most of our pilots would agree our MC easily slants towards the militant side. Our MEC as a whole may not be as militant as our MC, but certainly no push overs.
That being said, how does Kirby bypass our union leadership and negotiate directly with our pilots? With the latest election LEC election cycles complete it would take years for pilots to make significant changes to our ALPA leadership.
If our MEC directs our Negotiating Committee as the NC works for the MEC and our MC is a defacto member of the NC and a voting member of the United Airlines Board of Directors. Again how can Kirby bypass the union and negotiate directly with the pilots,
circumventing our union leadership?
