It is something completely different when all the other Oliver Stone conspiracy BS is thrown about at every opportunity by certain pilots at CAL.
Let me be clear, and to use an analogy: I don't think these pilots are any less "patriotic" or sincere than others in their desires for all CAL pilots to come out ahead. It is the methods and the words that are used which I found counterproductive and detrimental to our goals.
Glad to hear you aren't a couch spud. I'm not either. You say you challenge the reps with your views? I do the same thing. What I find interesting, and unfortunately amusing is the double talk I get from the reps. They sound like they really care, but in the end they really don't. No answer is more like it. It is then, I feel, the nail was hit on the head. Why hasn't the CAL MEC allowed the LEC reps a chance to look at the completed sections of the contract? What is the union hiding? Another contract 02, onlt worse? At this point, I don't know who to believe anymore.
