Get over yourself. You suck. So do we. Counting scabs from nearly 30 years ago will do nothing to alleviate that.

Stop helping them and maybe the company will believe that you really want a contract. Neither pilot group wanted this merger, but perhaps, in years to come, we can all learn to get along.

and it's VERY difficult getting along with an obsequious yes boy like you .. go back to doing your managers bidding like we expect you to do. We don't dislike you because you're CAL, we dislike you because you ***** yourself out to managements bidding. Come on Hamster boy, run a few more laps on the wheel. Take that VJM and help out the boss, all the while the boss doesn't give us a new contract. Just go on licking their boots like the subservient peon you are. I thank GOD that I'll never have to fly for you.

Honestly, you guys need to create a wall of shame like we did in 2000 .. post the schedules of everyone who accepts junior manning. Display the pigs at the trough. You realize that management hasn't delivered on a promised contract?

The problems that each respective airline has faced in the past are now problems faced, in full, by both groups. Trying to transfer blame from one side to the other doesn't do anything to correct our collective problems. We're either "united", or we're not. It's up to the line pilots to let their respective LEC reps know which way they want to go.

My suggestion is to get a jump on it and don't be lazy like the others leaving everything to the last minute. Far less stressful and considerably reduces the probability of errors which can be spoilers of all good plans...

Until you "CHOOSE" to do the right thing, STOP justifying your actions, and starting in being part of the solution (declining ALL VJM, JM, or otherwise)......I suggest that you don't be so quick to wrap your tongue in such a condescending fashion.
Pot & Kettle comes to mind.
