Speaking of which, you'll make sure pilots with a spine don't get hired/ You only want pilots who meekly go along with what an outside organization has dictated to you, and punish those who join with their pilot group to stand up for themselves? Hope you guys never need to hold another strike vote.

This is all just stupid. Your union took advantage of the fact that you've sort of acquired part ownership of CommuteAir and XJT to push an agenda that has been tried just about every two years. UALPA talks a good game about elevating "dedicated" regionals in priority, but then changed TOC to DOH, pretty much guaranteeing that most of the pilots in those groups will still lose out. Creating the "must ride" tier is the sneakiest of all, and possibly paves the way for telling us in the future that UAL will go ahead of everyone else.
