If JG gets put back in place, we won't be back at the table for some time so we're not missing out on anything by letting the current NC and SMEs do their thing.

Tell me what harm is. I'm all ears.
No we need JG back at the table so we can hit the pause button for another couple of years after he retires in November 2026. The company would love that plan, just sit back, wait him out again, and we’ll get to start the whole process over from scratch right when he walks out the door. Progress is overrated anyway.

Watched his scripted, biased video last week. In 18 months barely even did a thing. Supposals and some talk. We should have closed a lot of sections by now. So far only CPAP. This is with five guys on the payroll. Could have done all that with one guy on the payroll for a few days.

And no SMEs at the table!

Today's podcast from AB and MH is very telling about what actually works and what doesn't.

However, it will fall on the deaf ears of those who actually need to listen to it.

Is this the narrative that’s going on now? Are we now pretending that Scope Chair SI did not contribute to the JG NC? I just remember that off the top of my head. But I would hazard a guess that we had several SME’s contribute over the last 12 months. It would be impossible to make financial decisions without an SME.

You would think the SME’s were fully involved in the process with JG. However, from his latest video it sure didn’t seem like it.

It is almost like the five told JG drag this out, we do not want a contract until we can strike.

No. I don't think the SMEs were directly involved and I'm nearly 100% certain they were not at the table in JG's "Small Groups". As Max said below, the direction from The Five appears to be "Drag this out."

By the way...deaf ears.

This was proven to be false by JG himself on FB today. He listed principles by name and title that were at those meetings. Who is your source or are you lying to pursue an agenda?

It looks like the latter.

JG has said a lot of stuff lately that has been proven false. I'm not on JF anymore and I don't believe one word written in that one-sided echo chamber. Did you listen to the podcast?

And let's not kid ourselves on who has the agenda here.

And while you're at it, you can answer my question: What's the harm in seeing what AB can do? What are you afraid of?

There's a wide gap between CLAIMED and PROVEN. I assume you mean he listed principals who attended certain meetings. But listing something is rarely a proof. Does he have documentation? Eyewitness testimony? Or is it just his word against someone else's? If the latter, then it's not proof...at least not for many. It might be proof if you think that JG's memory is 100% accurate in every respect AND he has no reason to dissemble. I hold the position that those things are not the case. Thus I would not accept his word as proof, and I think many other pilots are in the same boat. If we intend to move forward as a union we're going to need to learn to trust each other again, and that probably means sticking very close to concrete facts for awhile, and shying away from "X said so, therefore true" type of arguments.

The harm is that timing is an important element of negotiations. I have received four calls for draft in the last week. Same for Airbus.

Personally, I think his lack of unity with his former NC team and accepting a position that our own policy manual advised against says something about him. That could be political, but I don’t think it is.

But if we come out of this time of growing leverage and accept a fraction of backpay for 4.A.2.c and he slides student lines in there, then we squandered the leverage we had before peak. That would amount to a huge loss and a wasted period of negotiations. That’s the harm. If you don’t have a problem with that, then you didn’t have a problem when it was JG.
