Straight from the horses mouth:
To all my fellow pilots here at Continental Airlines and especially to Lauren Barra-Berzon, I would like to extend a formal apology for the actions that took place during preflight of our scheduled flight yesterday.
I had no idea when driving to the airport yesterday the day would end up adversely affecting so many good hard working pilots at this airline.
I have a very large ripe Lemon with my name on it. How can I make Lemonade with it? If this pilot group becomes more unified and engaged at the negotiating table, then maybe something good will come out of this unfortunate event.
I'm sorry Lauren.
Fly safe.
"Name Removed"
So who pays the FOs pay? The company or Captain "I'm so sorry that a ton of bricks just fell on my head, I'm just a little person, I'm no one, I'm navel lint."
What I find curious is that so many are surprised by his actions.This guy has a "HISTORY" remember? This is who he is. Nothing has changed. The fact he is on a union committee is just a cover for his true character. And now you get a glimpse of who he really is, AGAIN!
Sadly, the union is chocked full of these guys. But hey it's a process right - one at a time just as long as we make progress and not just take the typical apathetic approach.
