No, you hide behind the other four or five Spirit pilots who happen to be named scott
I dont have any need to call you. I didn't start this war, you did.
If you think this was "war" you might be surprised if a real war started.
I have no problem with expressing opinions, but you took it to another level. You are attempting to undermine the efforts of the current MEC instead of joining your fellow pilots in our war against the company.
For those who read without anger, my actions are intended to force our leaders to do the job in such a way that we win. If the truth undermines Spirit ALPA's argument, then that argument was weak and would have lost. It is people such as myself that will save you from yourself.
Thats right, the war is against the company, not me, not the MEC, the company. We get an awesome result from the strike vote and the first thing you do is come on here and attack me...WT*!
I will let the readers judge who attacked who. I only pointed out that your comment about letting the "negotiators do their thing" was not realistic. I pointed out that we must begin to show group action and unity.
If you have issues with how SC is handling this, then take it out on him.....call him! His number is readily available too. I also dont use the no fly list....I am a professional and can act as such. With all of your experience you should know that we are not going on strike tomorrow, if ever.
I just love it when people make the point for me. You just told the company that you don't really stand behind your "strike" vote. I know that ALPA can request a release at any time. In fact, they could have requested a release without a strike authorization vote - as they DID last July.
So it is not suprising that we are not prepared to go on strike.
WE JUST PASSED A STRIKE AUTHORIZATION VOTE. Again, you make my point for me.
I have faith in my union leaders that we will be prepared should the time come. They have done a fantastic job and I am confident they will continue to do so.
Please dont use this forum as a means to advance your own agenda.
My agenda is my career. I don't really care about hurting the company, or sending a message, or any of the stuff you think I care about. I'm not running for office, I'm not running a recall, I'm not advocating a recall, I don't have an agenda other than protecting my job.
If you have a bone to pick with the current MEC then I suggest you attend an LEC meeting and voice your opinion, that is the proper place to do so.
My rep and our contract administrator know my position. The MEC Chair works for my rep, not the other way around.
Thanks again for making my point that we are not prepared to strike. No thanks for again telling the company that we do not expect to strike. Everytime one of you tries to assure the rest of us that the strike authorization vote doesn't mean that we will strike, you are doing nothing more than undermining the very process that you want to help.
I'm trying to ensure we are prepared and can win, you are trying to defend your friends political positions.
