Actually Cadet.. if you go back to my posts/threads on the "other" Forum, you'll see that I did not ALWAYS say it. I said it (wrote it) when the thread revolved around the "attitude of the Continental Pilots" with regards to the United Pilots.
How many "United Pilots" have been banned from your Forum?
Anyways..
The point being- Yes, a Federal Judge told UAL/ALPA (years ago) "Fly the Contract" is illegal. How about ALPA and the UAL/ALPA team call Bull**** and try and fight that again!
If Flying the Contract is Illegal in our Country, and my National Union or Local Union doesn't want to fight that.. I have a problem with that.
I'm not comparing the plight of the Blacks in America in the 50's/60's.. or Womens Rights..
But, they stood up for an injustice and did things that they were told were "illegal", to make a change.
Rosa Park knew what she was doing was "illegal".. but she did it anyway.
If Lee Moak were to come out tomorrow and tell every pilot group to Fly The Contract, and tell every pilot group that are in prolonged contract negotiations- plan on not going to work on Nov 6, 2012.. he might go to jail but it would bring National/Gobal attention to the problem we face.
Again, you banned me from your Forum.. so be it. If I get banned here too, so be it. I will never change my view that at some point, you have to make a Stand and fight for what is right.

Actually, there have been a few UAL guys barred from the other forum. At any rate, I personally liked a lot of your posts and agree.
There's nothing in the temporary injunction that tells the UAL pilots anything other than to abide by the RLA. That means FLY THE CONTRACT. No illegal job actions, sick outs, whatever.
That's it. Period. The fact pilots are so scared by it is amazing. It says to fly and ENFORCE your contract and handle major/minor disputes in accordance with the provisions of the RLA.
You're spot on.
Frats,
Lee
