As a 32% of mass hysteria, I would like to state that the new power DW has can doom us all. If I read it right in his latest Chairman message...we are about to get hit by the train! There is no time for a LOA...I want to throw the BS
flag right now! Please call you reps right away and tell them to not let anything happen with out it being brought to the membership. This is a complete cop out by our union leadership. I don't care if they have special info that we don't have, we all need to see it before we take it in the shorts.

Additionally, notwithstanding the fact that we have been trying for a year to get them to begin to address this issue incrementally, they insist there is no time for a LOA and member ratification process. """"""
Looks to me like he's saying "They insist there is no time for an LOA". "They" being the company...

Why don't you re-read the Message. Is this what your reffering to?

If one more pilot is to be excessed or even furloughed, DW needs to not only resign, but retire. He took something from every junior Capt., FO and SO that was not his to give away. He has taken away seats, seniority and security and given it away all by himself. With his "retroactivity'' clause he gave the over 60 crowd a gift at a huge cost to the entire crewforce. It was not their fault that DW did this.
If someone gave you a $500,000 gift that belonged to someone else, would you give it back?
We are going through some tough times right now and everyone needs to do the right thing together. It is hard to move forward, without correcting the past.
