Just a little follow-up.

Because the company reads this stuff and can use a comment like that to use against us in arbitration.

What Ronny just said. Can't even believe this has to be said.

I agree with most of what you said. While I think a merger would make us stronger in several ways, it would also bring some challenges...in fact, at that point, others will be forced to pay even more attention to us. Just food for thought.

Tonge and cheek or not, it's enough for the company to cry job action, and that's not good for any of us.

Ackerman handled that assault quite well. His conduct throughout that attack was nothing but admirable.

It amazes me that Poletti, Degrenier, and Hershon are hell bent on destroying this union with their chicken shiit assaults. After all their years here they still must be divisive.

Bringing Ackerman and Leonard up on trumped up charges was reprehensible. A panel of ALPA National found their so called Article VIII charges to be with no merit.

Make sure you understand this now. It wasnt simply weak evidence that failed to convict........The charges had no merit........That is powerful.

I urge you all to take a close look at these people purporting to be acting on your behalf.
