I find it very interesting that shortly after our union announces the supervisor integration drive there seem to be new posts popping up from what appears to be management pilots... After all, why would they even care to share with us what they think, right?
Reading BM's email I think the company really IS worried about the new leverage the IPA might now have in pursuing the supervisor integration (mainly the new, more union friendly NMB member)...
At this point I think there's only one thing the company can do to derail this inevitable train heading in their direction - stir up our ranks and make the IPA pilots so resentful toward the supervisors that we'll overwelmingly vote down an integration... In other words
let us do their bidding
for them! Use the seniority issue or the idea of what's fair and what's not; a defeatist "what's the point" attitude, or simply the fact there's no love between the two groups...
Doesn't matter as long as
they'll make us want what they want ==>>> NO INTEGRATION! <<<==
Reading some of the posts here I feel like the company's plan seem to be working out pretty well so far...
