2wright: What is your purpose in posting this?
The rest: Trust your MEC's and back them up. Did you vote?

FWIW, it's actually a gal and she just spent a few days with UCH management in ORD. Take it for what its worth, as I'm sure the company line was fed over and over.

Holly Hegeman has a long history of writing aviation related gossip columns. Like many her rants, this article is a stretch on so many levels. I've often wondered if she writes this stuff to simply get a reaction that will help her triangulate on actual facts.

My view is that it is easy for management to explain outsourcing as a monetary benefit but in reality it only exists to divide labor groups that they fear would become too powerful.
Very interesting.

This is so important. The company can offer us all 500K a year, but it won't mean anything if we are not competitive as a company.

Learn from the mistakes of the past so you avoid making them again in the future!

Was C2000 really that long ago??

Is this saying CAL pilots are ready to cave on scope?

From what I hear the guys at Continental actually voted NO against "joint venture flying" and the out sourcing of their labor not once, but twice already. Both times under Jay Pierce MEC Chairman. Both times were shoved down our throats unsuccessfully by Dave Zullo.

This is more of the same nonsense. The usual anti union garbage with the same "don't think of going on strike talk." PLEASE! I am sick of reading this crap. Airline management always gets acess to the media to say the same things over and over to the general public. How we better take whatever they put in front of us or the end is near, blah, blah, blah. Why don't we start getting in front of the media folks and get the real story out there? It's a fight, make no mistake about it, and it helps to get the facts out to the flying pubic so they hear the real story vs how management is fighting the evil unions once again.
