My bad, you can't keep that guy down:rolleyes:

The CALEX pilots need not worry about the merger. They'll be able to make captain before age 65. I was sent a letter of apology from the UAL MEC last year explaining that, as a UAL furloughee hired in '99, do to UAL's MEC's lack of concern for us I would be stapled to the bottom of the merged list along with the other pilots still on the street. That would put the UAL furloughed pilots below anyone recently hired at CAL and pretty much assures us of a career in the right seat. "Acceptable Collateral Damage" was what the MEC was trying to avoid saying.

No disrespect, but I think we'll have to ask you or anybody else with a copy of this letter to present it here. Those words were not spoken or written by any member of the UAL MEC. Proof please.

I was a PIG that got hired and I now remember why I didn't go. u guys are your kidding me right, why even entertain this? I've worked in alot of industries and in all forms of capacity and have never come across a more vindictive childly group of people, and by that I mean all pilots not just one group. But u guys need to put your differences aside and place your anger at management not ea h other. For christ sakes!

blah blah blah...nothing to see here folks move along...

The CAL express pilots don't control the union but Jay Pierce does.
Even though Pierce was CAL express he was management not a line pilot.

The CAL express pilots at CAL were stupid enough to appoint Pierce to many positions and now they might have to suffer the fate of a Pierce controlled union.

Brucia is another lone wolf who puts Brucia above all and always has, so don't expect much from him.

Jay Pierce gave up is CAL Ex number and he was off the seniority list for some time until CAL management reinstated his number to the objection of our Union (IACP)

The IACP filed a grievance and lost so Pierce was reinstated because CAL management wanted him reinstated.

From the time Pierce came to CAL he has been working in our union full time and getting paid and more then he deserves I might add. He is truly not one of us.

if you cant come to grips with that then just look at the last six years of Jay Pierce rule and tell me what he has done for this pilot group? I already know what he has done to us but tell me what he has done for us?

This is not all true. For example we have a pilot by the name of Jay Pierce who came to CAL in 1997 but his hire date shows 1989 along with many others from express. In many cases they get their 89 hire date for pass travel but not seniority.

CAL hired the last class in 1990 and started bringing the express pilots over at that time. Which is also around the time CAL stopped bringing express pilots over to cal and started furloughing.

The majority of them did not come to cal until the late 90's. CAL stopped hiring around 90 and did not hire again until July 1997.

So every pilot that has a hire date from 91-97 was not on the property until after 97. Many of the express pilots with earlier hire dates were not on the property as well.

HEY DH WRONG AGAIN. I am neither but I do agree with the truth hurts.

You got this one past me. I don't think you should go around calling people names - SLICK. Where's your boyfriend?

And who might you be DH?

Let me also educate you on SLICK. Here at CAL every SCAB was given an ALPA pin along with amnesty.

If that wasn't bad enough they had a pin party with Duane Worthless pinning a brand new shiny ALPA pin on several scabs including our former MEC Chair.
It was a very nice photo op for SCABAS and ALPA.
One detail that ****ed off the CAL strikers is when they put the years of service on the ALPA pin which included the years they SCABBED. They also never gave a pin to the CAL strikers but they gave them to SCABS.

CAL strikers made their own pin which I have one of those pins.

You wont see me wearing a SCAB PIN from a SCAB UNION. If you see me feel free to say what ever you like face to face.

We also have a SCAB wanna be on this forum who voted YES for our POS contract and supports your man Jay Pierce and he wears his pin every day along with all the scabs. But he wears a pin and supports every POS contract and every AH in our union including your pal JP. So you and he should get along nicely.

So next time you are having an ALPA love fest you might just be hugging and kissing a SCAB.

The SCAB is very easy to find amongst us and he will be the one with all the ALPA bag tags neck ties pins hats shoes every imaginable ALPA product.
That is because they are scared to be identified so they blend with all the STUPID PHUKS that pretend to be in a union. SCABS never want to face the consequences for being A SCAB.

As for Ringle why don't you send him another stupid PM on how to get rid of Jay Pierce. Get rid of him yourself. After all you are Once United.
