I would love to be there, but synching up two airline guys' schedules is tough and I need to make this happen.
Again--this is the perfect example of why a tele-conference could be handy. There are times when sharing info in public would be a bad idea. There is no reason for the NC to broadcast "...and this is what it would take to get us to sign" or "...and these are our main strategies....". Obviously, anything discipline related needs to stay within the confines of the legal team. However, a routine meeting like this would get a lot more participation if the folks out in the field could listen in.
So it was an evil plot. I wouldn't be surprised if your delta pilot guy is really a MEC member trying to keep you from the meeting.
Anything said at hub turn meeting and 91.83% of what is said at any other open union meeting is known to management. Sounds like what the real fear is of being held accountable.
