I have actually talked to LM, and I can tell you exactly what he said:

To a group of NW guys:

"RJ are good for us, they fill up our 777's to Japan!"

-why can't mainline jets fill their own 777!

When asked about the CPZ question:

"Why are you complaining, your flying a very popular airplane, it's not going anywhere"

-As far as I know we don't come w/ the airplane, and I thought ALPA represents pilots not airplanes. He then turns his back to us in a very rude way, which tells us how he feels about us and our cause. Everytime I've asked our union reps about the CPZ issue they turn their heads away and avoid the question. I've never had a direct answer given to this situation.
