Both were Ex People Express/Continental. Both, very strong union and extremely pro pilot. At the time Mike was the PHL CA rep. I earned alot about ALPA and unions, RLA from them both.
That all being said Mike works for the NMB now (answers to the three Presidential appointed NMB members) so his job is to get a deal with no service disruptions.
I’d say he’s as much pro union/pilot as feasible with his job. One heck of a nice guy and when I knew him very pro labor/pilot.
Best of luck in your negotiations!

This is going back to 2001/2002. I spent 3-4 days a week for 3 months in the EWR CAL and CALEXP crew rooms with Mike and Jerry McGuckin (also a mediator and was our mediator for the UAL/CAL JCBA) who at the time was the US Airways NC Chairman.Both were Ex People Express/Continental.
