If he still thinks that fighting, throwing fits during negotiations, or even thinking that a strike is the only solution to all of our problems, then yeah, he's not going to last much longer. JA now running his mouth on the BUS chat is also quite hilarious. He should come clean and tell everyone how he alone out the retro pay on the table, because he couldn't read the room; never informed GU or legal of the move. GU and the IBT attorneys had to clean up that mess. Which is why two weeks after the NC announced retro, it was removed from negotiations.
Once we get a TA in a few months (weeks), a lot of people are going to really begin to ask why the prior NC wasn't able to lock something down. And believe me, claiming that it was the company's fault won't cut it.
I’m not one to typically condone calling for legal action against individuals who are “volunteering” on our behalf—but at which point does their action cross the threshold of becoming illegal or at minimum, a breach of their fiduciary duty to our members or their duty to fairly represent?
With the amount of money that’s been lost by 1,400 pilots, the number of good pilots who left because it was dragged on by the NC, among many other impacts, we aren’t talking about charges like KS expensing a bottle of NyQuil. You’re talking about an impact valuation measured in the high 8 figures, maybe even 9 figures. One could argue incompetence, but at some point they crossed the line into wrongful intent.
Only my two cents, nothing more, nothing less. Hurts to see 1,400 pilots and their families all impacted by the actions of 4-5.
