Default Since it's been a couple weeks...

...I think I get it. Sorry it's been more complicated then Congress. Please include missing bulletin points.

1) Capt Morse had a path that would have leveraged the company into a JCBA

2) Pierce is a side dealing (explective) who boned all leverage to get a JCBA

3) Pierce did this because he has a dubious past

THUS

1) Pierce was probably promised a management job by Abbott for getting Cal PS

2) Pierce will take this job in the near term

TO PREVENT ABOVE

1) Pierce must be thrown out by Cal pilots some of whom are scabs but nevermind the majority of Cal pilots will never 'get it' unless Pierce is tossed

2) Pierce will hold no grudge against Cal pilot group for throwing him out after securing PS thus will not go to management out of spite

3) Pierce will learn lesson and fly the line for the rest of his career

THUS
Company will cave and Contract completed in short order

I agree with your assessment of the situation. I would add that if Pierce had the interest of the CAL and UAL pilots at heart and a strong Union on the property, he'd resign. There is NO WAY around it, the UAL guys don't trust him and many of the CAL guys don't trust him. The only thing he'll be good for are the little side deals brought to him by the company and we know what they do! The sooner he moves on the better we'll all be.

We all know where you both stand on this. You are both entitled to your opinions, but ask yourselves how stirring the pot and collectively relieving yourselves in our pool helps the entire group going forward

So based on your expertise it is better to dump Capt Side Deal with much bitterness while paying no heed to the risk that JP might just be p'od enough to end up across the table within days of the righteous kill? Well you agree with my assestment so off to write my reps! JCBA at last!

This pool is already a health hazard in my book. Wishing we all get paid before acting like the town drunks.

I'll agree with you! Now, what's our next move. The company thinks you are a bunch of woores and the UAL MEC has no use for Pierce because they know he can't be trusted. Where do we go from here? I'm listening!

dogfood, not directed at you, but I just got a copy of a CAL SCAB list that has pictures. Are these guys happy SCABS and volunteer their picture or do you guys take them without them knowing?

Yes, all us non-scabs ran around and pinned the scabs up against a wall and forcefully took their pictures, some while smiling. Really???? The pictures are their employee ones that are the same one on their badge.

This thread is a re-hash of what has already been discussed to death, complete with glaring errors AGAIN, and is a waste of time.

Nothing to see here, keep moving please.

Any next move involves you contacting your LEC reps or going to an LEC meeting and flooring a resolution about what you would like to change. Use the process; it's far from perfect, but it's not divisive. Nothing personal, but this back and forth between us is counterproductive and only helps our real adversary.
