Why? Because I thought what he wrote was seriously flawed and presented a divisive stance. Also, it was requested by CONTINENTAL pilots in this very thread that I should contact him directly and nit just disparage him without seeking his reply. So, as requested I wrote to him. The first try was email that bounced. The second was via the PM function of this website. I didn't know he was CAL EWR until intrepid pointed it out. He has been online since the message was sent and has chose to ignore the request. My question to him was could he explain why he chose what he decided to put into print?

Jayson does not negotiate the SLI. That is up to people other than himself. He should let those appointed to the respective committees do their job and he can continue doing his day to day council work. He is creating expectations that may or may not be realized. This guy is a loose cannon and obviously a rank amateur in how to communicate from his position. He did not make the negotiations about ALL UCAL pilots vs UAL, he decided to make it about the EWR domicile vs UAL. If I was a IAH pilot I would be miffed that he chose to create the thinking that the only part of CAL that was worth anything was EWR. I don't just pin this on Jayson alone. The other two officers signed also. They are just as responsible.

Again I hope I get a chance to share a very brief conversation with them on their commutes home, on the last flight, that's full, on Christmas eve........
