There has to be some changes at pncl.

That wasn't a mean spirited comment, and I apologize if it came across as such. I was joking.

I understand the 9E frustration, I have been here a while and have many 9E friends.

Nope, he's one of those "cheap" guys..... Not "get what ya pay for".... It would be a bad night with even worse after effects.

I gotta bash the guy whenever possible....

But what can I say misery loves company.

I'm going to go all Confucious on you and say "company love misery."

I know the XJ guys have faced more direct hardships (furloughs, downsizing, etc.). The 9E guys have faced more false expectations. I think that's the root of the differences our pilot group's have at this moment in the process...

Ask yourself who the chairman is? If it's a guy without balls.....then you wont have a contract!!!

Once again, when you proposed "actionable items" what does the rest of the group say...."you can't do that, you can't do this, bla bla bla." Nicholasblonde you have a common sense approach that doesn't mesh with the PU$$Y-footing politicians that run the mec. They need to wake up and follow in line with what other carriers have done to force a fair contract.
