So many of you blindly trust a group that can't even admit when its wrong on a simple, clear cut item and instead attacks someone who points their error and its implications out. It doesn't matter that they wrote into the ETO agreement in May that it "isn't a leave", when the TSA came out with an interpretation in June that it "is a leave". TSA owns the KCM, not us. Their game, their rules. The flight attendants agreement is different because it still has them active since they can pick up trips. The ETO does not. Apples to oranges. Can't help that the TWU wrote a smarter agreement than IBT did. Then the steward who is fond of Italian handguns corrects the guys grammar. Real maturity we are dealing with here in this group. Keep pounding your chests and follow them right off the cliff.

It's also funny that they are now having a meeting after they told a certain member last week that they weren't required to have a meeting so they weren't going to have one. Chased him right off the page with deep personal attacks for daring to speak up. Then they turn around a call a meeting. Is it spite or did they realize that interpretation was wrong too? They owe him an apology.
