Spoken like a true teamster. Let me guess, we should hold the line until a release is granted by the NMB?

Delta and United not hire you?

Yeah, thats how the RLA works when you don't have an eboard paid off by the company management.

Current union leadership seems to be against passing any info to the larger pilot group.

agreed and it seems like a select few have all the details of what is going on in the room. Just thought I would ask if one of those people that are privy to inside info wouldn’t mind sharing some of those details with the group!

Right okay so now that there’s progress and adults in the room suddenly it’s the company buying them off? Never mind the fact that would be a federal offense.

Truly, what world do you live on? It never fails to amaze me just how rooted in fantasy land some of you are.

I’m convinced some of you have a shrine dedicated to JR and his all caps emails and JA and his “delta or bust” messaging.

Oh, I have the inside scoop and don't mind sharing at all. When the NC and Company meet, they have a drinking game, and every time someone says "survey" they take a drink and laugh. Now on days where mediation is present, they change up the game to a Price is Right style Yodeling Game. They each take turns seeing how many times pilots say "retention bonus" and as per usual Price is Right rules, if they go over the little Yodeling guy falls off the cliff. Since they are all of course reading APC, WhatsApp and the unofficial/offical union FaceBook page run by someone not even IN the union.

Now, if there were just more pilots talking about unstacking, I'd bet then they'd REALLY take them seriously. I know, how bout every keyboard warrior email the Exco and NC with the title "I know how unstacking works and nobody else does" that will REALLY REALLY fix the problem.
