Dear Members of Council 11,
I have received a lot of feedback on the Tentative Agreement, and I hear you all loud and clear. I spoke with many of you and had very productive and respectful conversations about this agreement. I appreciate your thoughts and opinions very much. During these discussions, you brought thoughtful points to the table and expressed serious concerns over the flaws you see in this TA. The feedback I'm receiving is overwhelmingly negative. It would be negligent of me not to reexamine my reasoning.
The briefings to the MEC and information presented to us in closed session focused on a very detailed breakdown of negotiations and the general economic conditions of our industry that I used in considering this TA. I do believe there are some good things in this agreement. But after reexamination, it is not nearly enough to put the United Pilots at the top of the industry where we belong.
The most important aspect of what I do is to represent you, the members of Council 11. I voted to approve the TA and bring it to membership ratification. As stated earlier, listening to you and accepting your feedback, this agreement clearly misses your mark. I apologize for that. Moving forward, nothing short of a true industry leading contract will get a yes vote from me at the MEC.
Integrity and accountability are tenants I strive to live by and uphold and I thank you for your candid conversations and your support. I expect to be held accountable. I realize this is not the agreement the United Pilots deserve. When I cast the vote that counts -my own- I'll be voting NO on this TA.
Respectfully,
Jim

So WTF have we been paying you FPL to oversee the NC and the MC and then many days reviewing this with SMEs etc.?
Let’s face it you might be voting no now as an individual but you voted for a T/A that takes union jobs from union members at the “qualified” opinion of management. You sir simply need to step down. I have no desire to give you another chance to **** my QOL at this airline and destroy union member jobs. If this passes you will go down in history as a union rep that destroyed this airline as a solid career place to work. So average Joe line pilots made you see the light?!? Really? Maybe you should have polled the pilots over these years instead of letting Insler just giving you a place to eat some free food and get you some FPL from trips to sit around for some briefings from soon to be management wanna be types. Just resign and the sooner the better!!
