>>Is anybody really surprised when we continue our infighting right into contract negotiations?<<
Or to put it another way, is anybody really surprised when we continue to behave in ways that cause infighting right into contract negotiations?
I have no idea of the specifics of this gentleman and his situation so I don't include this as part of the behavior. DP flying, draft flying, FDA LOA, ALPA/Company side letters without informing those affected, etc, etc are behaviors that cause the infighting.
I tire of those urging unity and cohesion during negotiations and whatever blows your skirt up the rest of the time.
