Barb and arrow slinging, beneath us and not worthy to breathe our air vile, self-centered and non-unifying tripe, and completely baseless and uncalled for rhetoric. That is unifying? Telling an employee group we think you are subservient and we want to help you end your meekness and submissiveness? That is unifying? You think the CAL employees should find that paragraph somehow gratifying? That we now have the white knight come to help release us from our bondage?

Not the way the statement reads. Management does think we are ALL subservient and should continue to do so but this paragraph did nothing but divide. The whole letter was great until the that part. Completely unnecessary statement.

I agree a change needs to happen and should the UAL pilots not jump at the pay raise opportunity that is seemingly in front of their face, we might have a chance.

If you can't see the insult insinuated here, you're not going to have unity. All these quips do is prove the statement about the attitude you have is true.

You want unity? It starts with everyone on the same page, focused towards the same goal and the same outcome.

Have you conveyed your sentiments Jay P yet?

Several times to both Jay and council 171.

Thank you. Do you think your sentiments were implemented?

Don't know. It was received but if I start getting postcards in the mail again from ALPA comm, I'll know it was discarded.

I agree. Good until the insulting remark about Cal Pilots. How are we any different then the UAL group??? All I see coming from the UAL ranks are comments disparaging JP.

Looks like prejudice runs deep at council 12, seen comments like that from the furlough coordinator also... Men like that would not do that face to face or one on one, they need people behind them, seen it before ...Ron

So what's this thing about respect that you're whining about again? Hypocrisy at it's finest. Anyone ever mentioned that you shouldn't sit so close to the screen?

Quite some fellow you are to think that unity starts with anything other than "U"
