I want accountability. Right now, we are forced to kept in the dark. Fair enough, but if disputes start happening, a list that was suppose to be out by Monday does not come out, then we should be told exactly what the dispute is. I'm sorry, I didn't ask for this. I didn't ask my union to form a MOU to hire XJ furlough pilots, who could retain their XJ longevity for Pinnacle pay. This is unheard of! When was the last time one airline did that for another? I didn't ask for about 90% of the stuff that gets put through (or put out) by our union. It's like our government. You elect your leaders, and hope for the best. Next thing you know, they're wasting resources, doing unnecessary things, and passing programs that are unpopular with a large percentage of the people group. And I have to include the Mesaba MOU into this category. I also include bonus TA 1 methodology in this category.

Anyway, it'd be nice to know exactly what the hold-up was. The reason it's frustrating is because if the list has been fixed from clerical/book-work errors from our management, then there is something more deep that is upsetting XJ. Why wasn't this discussed and taken care of during negotiations, and certainly, before the disputing window closed on Apr 15? As I said, I'd like accountability, but to be honest, I expect 0% (just like our government).
