What fleet Captains office do you work in? That would make the meeting spot easier to determine. Or are you helping labor relations out during negotiations? Either of the previous scenarios appears to be the angle you look at everything from. Flying the line you are awarded is not and never has been a job action. Many do it all the time in and out of negotiations. Its in the contract as you stated. Thanks for the offer for a cup of Joe, however it is very apparent we have very little in common. You use your time to drive division. I have no time for that. I do appreciate the kind regards and luck of the Irish. I wish I had more time in life currently to volunteer, but I don't. This is the reason I give support and appreciation to those who do. I know that no decisions within a representative organization are made in a bubble. Many people research and analyze prior to moving in one direction or another. I have been helped many times by volunteers along the way through out my career. Pay issues, DHD issues, bidding, just to name a few. This is why I cant understand the few people like you who throw stones at every opportunity that presents itself. Much like the thread starter. Its like you have a personal agenda. Its weird actually and concerning. We are in negotiations and now is when we need to unify and stop the constant complaining and dart throwing. Support those who we are counting on. Have you ever noticed the company doesn't have an open web forum or Facebook page to throw darts at each other? Have you seen a Chief pilots chastising an attorney for how they approached negotiations in an open forum or Facebook? Why do you think they don't allow this? We know they disagree on topics at times like all humans. Everyone on the companies side doesn't get what they want all the time. They don't argue and complain in public because it weakens them as a group. Maybe us pilots will figure that out one day.
