None of that is what I said. I was responding to the statement that the NC and us as pilots, WE ARE ONE UNION. Do not have leverage. This pilot group should be making it clear to our union leaders and those leaders should be making it very clear. Maybe they are? That this pilot group will not support a purchase of Sunny without the contract they have been promising for 5 years. We as a pilot group should not sit back quietly as the company uses once again the savings from the current pilot contract to invest in another company venture. Sure the company could elect to continue to drag this out so that they do not have to pay this pilot group tell after. We just should not be willing and silent partners in that venture if they continue to not treat us as partners.

So another question most of you all in for the company guys usually and saying that MG is no longer in charge and its solely the unions fault. Whether MG is or not does not change the facts that the company has not been motivated to actually make a deal. If they had we would have a deal already.

So far the current Exco seems content to sit quietly in the background and send out people like chapi to say it is not their fault the last guys destroyed everything. That sounds a lot like just giving in and up to the company.

This pilot group will continue to lose these battles if the majority stays silent. Yes this EXCO won the vote by a great margin, but only about half the pilot's even voted. I personally voted for them, it seemed like the best option for real change. Real change will only happen by getting the pilot group as a whole engaged in the process, not communicating and keeping pilots as a whole in the dark about what is going on is not change but a continuation of what each group before has done.


But if it is true and we have no leverage at all and this EXCO's only play is to roll over for the company. Then were is the company favored TA? Lets get it over with if this is truly all we have.
