KEEP THIS in MIND, Smisek IS the CEO, He is NOT however the Chairman of the Board who outranks him NOR is he going to be for 2 Years. Smisek doesn't have the Ball's to "Blink first" Because IF he Does? Tilton Will come out of retirement to take his PLACE and Smisek will be shown the DOOR!
Don't depend on playing "the GAME". Play to Win with a United FRONT, up front because I'll bet they don't even think you guys can Muster a "card game",, Much Less a full blown Strike!! Gotta tell you the truth, ALPA hasn't shown a lot of "fire" up to now. Maybe a lot of smoke but that could be from "Wet wood" as well..
United CAN achieve a single operating certificate without you Having a single seniority list and you'll FLY as you're directed to FLY. But you'll leave them OPEN to schedule as they choose to, route as they Choose to, Recall as they Choose to, Acquire airplanes as they Choose to, and Assign the FLYING to Whomever they Choose to. AND?? They've got 1400+ Pilots on the streets to make it SO!! So YOU tell ME.. Who again has the upper Hand again?? What you'll see if you FAIL ?? United "Whipsaw Central" Airlines. "Treachery" is the HALLMARK of United's managment!
Something you should have already SEEN By now.. All of this supposed "Continental Culture" I keep hearing about? ain't lookin' like Much to me.. (and Dorthy? You ain't in Texas either!) Get it Together and get Crackin'
