One of the tag lines I remember seeing frequently was "UAL + X%". Can't remember the exact amount.
So, while you are throwing stones at a UAL pilot from up on your high horse, can you remind me what laid many of the foundations for YOUR contract?
Yep, ALPA untiy at it's finest. What's the middle letter in the word unIon?
You're taking my post out of context. It was in direct response to a UAL guy criticizing our MEC Chairman as being ineffective and to cozy with management. My statement, albeit admittedly combative, was meant to illustrate the effectiveness of Moak's actions as opposed to that of the current UAL ALPA leadership he seemed to hold in higher esteem. To be fair we aren't dealing with Tilton so a direct comparison is somewhat unfair.
I wish the UAL guys all the best and nothing would make me happier than being in the position of demanding "UAL +%" at some point in the future. (once they have a sweet contract again of course)
