The only problem is my union, along with two other pilot groups, fired the first shot. Our elected officials and their appointed committee members have asked us to stand in unity on this matter. Unfortunately UALPA has played the card of threatening career progression for anyone standing in unity with our brothers and sisters. Frankly it seems like Union Busting 101 and is disappointing.

As a commuter I don’t want to deny anyone the jumpseat and I hope it never comes to that, but rest assured there would be a professional conversation with my ID clearly visible. I purposefully left out my opinions and will leave it to our Executive Board/MEC to sort it out. But you seeming like a person of principals and level headedness I hope there is some common ground with many of us on the other side.
