That one should come out after the first rounds with the NMB. They have posted one of those letters every time I believe.

Nothing management does is done in a vacuum. That missive had to be approved by higher ups and company lawyers. I just can't think for the life of me what any of them thought it would accomplish. I can't imagine there are any fence sitters left to try to influence to come on over the their side. The whole thing is just weird and drives a deeper wedge between the pilots and those who negotiate against the pilots. One things for certain, the HK guys need to be very careful, the new chief pilot isn't shy about letting everyone know where his loyalties lie.

So why do we have a system that allows an ALPA member negotiate on behalf of the company. If you want to sell us all out for a bonus you should have to give up your seniority number, union membership and be an at will employee. Good luck. Make your bonus if you succeed but you will never be part of the labor team if management later decides that you suck in management. We cannot be the fallback option for guys who would sell us out.

APC rumor mill said that BM (former union Negotiating Committee chairman!*?) resigned from ALPA prior to receiving a big bonus ... does that mean he doesn't have to pay dues on his bonus?
