Anyway, I've already assumed that all the ERJs are getting parked. I have absolutely no problems with that. You have anything else?




Its not a question of more or less responsibility. It's a question of ability to live with the consequences of one's actions. Your emotional and continued justification of what you think is right belies your maturity level.
So, since our CEO has the ability to live with the consequences of his actions, it's ok. But for me, it isn't? Why is that?

Never said that. You are so desperate to be right you are assuming I'm calling you wrong... I haven't disagreed with anything you've assumed.


I seriously hope you aren't representing the pilot group... you are entirely too emotional.

Ok, maybe I misunderstood. You said my actions have consequences. I don't necessarily disagree. But my point is that, as an employee, I don't have any responsibility to our ceo's other employees. His immoral business decisions have more consequences on his employees than my one vote.

Do you disagree with any of that? If not, then I did misunderstand.

I agree with your right to form your own opinion. You have to decide the limit of your responsibility for yourself. "Moral business" is a bit of an oxymoron, which sounds much more flippant than I honestly intend.

What is XJT 401K match? What is your sick and vacation accrual rate? What are your insurance premiums? What is your per diem as well?

There is not. Theoretically, UAL could allow the leases to expire, then re-lease them to SkyWest or ASA under a new CPA. The current XJT contract has practically no scope protections, and the TPA only prohibits a direct aircraft transfer.

ANOTHER crew lounge legal expert!!!

Actually, if you ever bothered to read the ALPA Constitution&Bylaws, you would know that an LEC (member) can NOT mandate an MEC member. The MEC members (also ALPA BOD members) are the highest governing body in the union, and they are autonomous to make decisions they feel are in the best interests of their pilot group and the Association. The only recourse the LEC (you) have is to organize a recall.

I suppose you think your Congressman should call thousands of constituents every time he has to make an important decision too? LMAO!!!!

Turn off fox news there buddy. UAW employees do NOT, nor have they ever earned $73/hr.

Well, I didn't actually say anything about opinions. Of course we are entitled to them. And I understand that I'm responsible for my own actions as they pertain to me and my family. I don't have any fiduciary responsibility to anyone else other than my family. But you still failed to answer my question about our CEO and his responsibilities to his employees. Aren't his decisions more consequential on his own employees than my one out of 4500 vote?
