Better get yourself more facts before you start dropping bombs.
Calm down mate. I am the last person to drop bombs. The fact is it your merger committee was not clear about the answer to this basic question. And yes our merger head was annoyed with the delay, but we all have moved on. Confusion of who is on the list is the last thing we need to be dealing with. In the end it's really small potatoes so I apologize if my question p!ssed you off.

You took what I said completely out of context. As you said, there are @ssholes on both sides of this merger. Never once did I say I thought that it was some organized movement by UAL reps. I don't why JB got into grandstanding nor do I think there is a place for it. All I was doing was speculating as to a possible reason for the tone. Again sorry that p!ssed you off. JB's position is certainly not CAL ALPA's position. That last thing I do is 'spin'.

Okay then I could bring up the 'creative hiring' of the 90's which you counter with New York Air heroes. I bring up bending over on scope in BK and you counter with coach rest seat while not in BK. Yadda, yadda, yadda...
Only winners in that bullsh!t are Glenn and Jeff. Hopefully both are groups are intelligent enough to figure that out fast.
There is plenty of garbage in both our closets, but I've got 30+ years to hopefully look forward to rather then dwell upon. Rather then berate me, why not PM Jayson right here or better yet start a thread demanding an explanation for the divisive message. Here's his profile on this very website:
