Default Fatigue. Using our integrity against us.

"I will close today by saying that I did ask management about comments made in the press that fatigue is not a big problem at CAL. I was told that they believed this to be true because they believe that our pilots, the most professional in the industry, understand their responsibility to not degrade safety by operating fatigued." -- CAL MEC

IOW the company is saying: "We don't have to have integrity because the pilots have it. We don't have to be concerned about safety because pilots won't be unsafe."

This is their safety philosophy? The pilots won't do it so it's not our problem? Unbelievable.

UAL MEC: "While several proposals were passed across the negotiating committee table this week, we still are not in the ballpark of reaching agreement on most of this week’s passed sections. It is clear that it will take an approach from a higher level of management to get to a Joint Collective Bargaining Agreement anytime soon.

As I briefed you
last week and as has been reported in our nation’s newspapers, the management of this company rewarded themselves coming into the merger with millions of dollars. If I were a senior executive being rewarded out of the chute, I would make very sure that I rewarded the employees as close to simultaneously as possible so as not to be viewed as standing in the front of the chow line ahead of the starving troops. To do otherwise fails to recognize the corrosive culture created in ignoring the simple fact that leadership is demonstrated by example.

It is imperative that we get to the right contract, right now, and I will continue to pursue this requirement vociferously."
