Management whispered it in their ear. That's all it took. They bought it. I hope we never fall for that type of manipulation again. That's why I've always been skeptical of the NDAs that all the ALPA guys sign. I'm cautiously optimistic that our new guys won't fall into the Moakist mindset of thinking they are some kind of "junior executive" types just because Richard and Ed come to the meetings and pretend to share some top secret intel. Its all done for a purpose. Its my belief that they never tell our union guys anything of significance in closed sessions that they wouldn't tell them anyway. The non-disclosure agreements are just a way to make our union guys feel like they are part of some corporate inner circle and therefore responsible for helping management achieve their cost control goals. |
Check, my feelings precisely.

"You are not being treated the way you are treated because of who you are. But, instead because of the position you hold." When I left the position, shock! All the invitations dried up. Another thing taught was how to deal with the press. And another...the three things that will get you into irrecoverable trouble are booze, broads, and bucks. DALPA should spend time teaching these important lessons to reps at all levels. Not just a seminar. |

God you are a pain. I have yet to read a positive post from you since you have been on this forum. He is willing to get on here and explain himself outright. No negativity like the other guys, willing to take calls and explain his position. I give him credit for all of that. I bet he would have no problem doing the same in person. Call him, I dare you!
Are going to stop being a jerk? I'm going to keep asking you until you answer...when will you find something productive to say? All you seem to be able to do is criticize or come up with negative comments. Frankly, you serve no purpose. Sorry everyone, just couldn't take it any more... |

Drank posts what people are thinking...but are too polite to post. He just dives in a "goes there". Like him, hate him...he serves a purpose as these negotiations go on. |
