What is your problem? You seem to take some personal offense that United guys are ****ed off at this whole jumpseat deal, and you are trying to prove you understand the United MEC history better than anyone else. Why do you have such a bone to pick with United guys? Still frustrated that Independence didn't work out? Still frustrated that your pilot group voted for a failed business plan, and now you take some special sadism in pointing out other's mistakes?
Well, congratulations on your first point. But can you show me where I'm "pi$$ed off" as you put in this thread as it relates to the JS issue? I've talked about pay rates and how they were negotiated down, but NOTHING about the JS issue. What is YOUR problem? Maybe you are mad because of the weakness your MEC showed in the past. Maybe you are also mad because a regional had the sack to tell your management where to go when YOUR OWN MEC didn't.
Funny, my dad spent 30+ years at UAL. Maybe it's the way you are reading it.

Yep, maybe you need to learn some reading comprehension. If the MEC had no say and the "company dropped the contract" as it was put, what do you think the rates would have been? I'll make it simpler for you, if the MEC didn't fight to retain SOME of it, they WOULD be lower. Don't know how you missed that in what I said. Read fully before you type.
