--- bump ---

I'm bringing popcorn and a booming voice. Should be an entertaining show.

I doubt much will happen if it is like most alpa meetings.

You may be surprised at the numbers. ORD guys/gals show up when it counts. A couple hundred would be nice, looking back to the 80's it wasn't uncommon to see more. The issues here are just as important as those of that day.

Pierce did a money grab at the expense of JCBA and now he wants to tell you why it's good you. Sorry - he effectively took away from you and your family by delaying the JCBA.

Dexim, do you work for UA? Pilot or Mgt? You reference the 80s and wrote the last para as an outsider...

We got profit sharing by agreeing to allow the company to sell two B-767's? B.S. They can sell the whole lot of them.

Yes I remeber the 80's and how many showed up right to where they started letting certain people back in and then it dwindle right down to the same old folks that show up all the time.

Yes I am quite aware of what he did but I am also just as sure that most on that side would take food right of my kids table, seen it enough.

Lost most of my faith in alpa in the 80's after our strike and then most of the rest when they let groups back in just for the dollar.

I think the meeting will be watered down.

Like I have stated enough they can all do what they want as unity is long gone

Thanks for bumping the post.

CAL pilots are welcome to attend the ORD Council 12 meeting. Yes, I referenced the 80's and no I wasn't talking about your CAL buddies of the early eighties. I was refering to the UAL pilots that stood shoulder-to-shoulder in struggle.
You may want to read "Flying the Line". I think it's still free for the asking.
