I think you I can agree that we need a contract and are "woe"fully due a pay raise. ALPA needs to bring both MEC's in, and sift through this mess so we can continue our careers by melding our fat wide bodies with your shiny new vessels.
Notice I didn't say who was right or wrong, just solve the issue, now.
Actually my response to you was related to your quote here: "I can honestly say I'm sick and tired CAL's the ends justify the means arguments and continued neutering of the UAL pilot group. CAL says it's not fair to use the 400 pay against them. However, they are turning around and bit&h slapping us with their current rates vs a rate handed to us with a gun at our heads. I'm not up for paying for bankruptcy twice. I can die standing or kneeling.".
Sounded pretty cut and dried it was all CALs fault..... I just said call your rep and express your displeasure because it was your members of JNC that agreed to what you are feeling "bit&h slapped" over.
And no I didnt 'notice' you didnt say who was right or wrong.
Sorry Im not in the mood either right now. Im busy voicing my displeasure to my reps about the UAL cancer of 70 seat RJs that just LOWERED MY NEW CAREER EXPECTATIONS POST MERGER ANNOUNCEMENT.
