Management has been telling us since interim discussions began that many things we know are problems are not even issues worth addressing. Accepted fares, poor secondary line construction, poor manning/reserve line decisions, unbalanced 4a2b implementation, etc. After YEARS of ignoring these items they want something that would require a much higher level of cooperation with ALPA to implement and refine after it arrives. A level of cooperation that strives to do something more than squeeze every nickel and dime out of us. Cost cutting, control and discipline are the languages they speak, not collaboration.


I'm not willing to act like nothing has happened before today and cozy up to management in the AOC or otherwise. We already know they speak with forked tongue so what do you think you look like standing around asking them questions and listening to the "information" that comes back? When I see line pilots doing that I question their SA and ability to process information.


Even if you think it's ok to eat the food on your way out....Letting them cook food that no one chooses to eat would send a message they understand. Interaction with them just encourages more bad behavior.

You've been in your cell too long. It was a joke. My reference to SERE school is that management is the compound staff, trying to ply us with crappy food. In SERE school, you eat the baloney sandwich and don't talk. So by your comment because you eat their sandwich you have now become a virtual non-member?

Are you just dying to find enemies within the crew force? Give it up. We're 100% behind our negotiating team.
