However, why does Wendy attack and conquer in public? That will not help with the JCBA and that is what really bothers me. I don't care about the he said she said my 744 is better than your 787. I care about a contract.
The politics on both side of this merger stink. It will be interesting to see if we are still ALPA after we are 11K pilots standing together. Don't expect this to be DL/NW. It isn't. Both were in BK. Everyone has their eyes on THIS merger and we need to set the bar.....
sorry...slight thread drift.
She didn't attack in public. She fulfilled her duties as the UAL Master Chairman and communicated the current JCBA situation to her pilot constituents. The fact that it was posted here is out of her hands. And even though she may be aware that her messages will be leaked, that wouldn't change the tone or content of her communications to the pilots that she represents.
You may not like the message, but don't make it out to be any more than it is.
