Let me ask you to put yourself in someone else’s shoes. Now we all know that each other’s MEC has to do what is best for their pilot group. I would hope that our MEC’s would use a level mind and realize that there has to be some give and take, in order for us all to get a fair deal. Someone said on here once, the only way we will know that a merged SLI was fair, is if we all feel like we got screwed. This is b.c. we all have to give a little to get more.
None of us (or I am assuming) are on the Neg. comm., therefore we do not have control over what is being proposed or neg. We are powerless, yes I can tell my rep what I feel or think, but it doesn’t mean that right now they are doing what I asked (I hope that they would).
So let me ask you to step into the shoes of the other side, pls make sure that when you are neg. or voting you consider the other group. How much would you feel like you got screwed if the other side got more just b.c. mgmt wanted to play us against each other? I would hate to see a situation where DAL pilots get more just b.c. their companies name is going to be used and mgmt decided to just neg. with them. Think about how you would feel…Unified we must stand or we will fail.
We all want to be happy, buy pls do not be greedy at the expense of someone else. Pls do not bunch the other side into a classification b.c. you heard a rumor about what the other side may have proposed. I like to think I have been pretty neutral, I have only said, I hope one side doesn’t purposely screw the other side just so they can make out better for themselves. I would like to think we have learned from the history of previous mergers and we are not doomed to repeat it.
