I believe your MEC backed every single thing you mention above. Don't they deserve some of the blame as well?

Pot meet kettle.

Yeah...they insisted on it...as an alternative to continue negociating against the two parties, CAL MEC/UCH.

They settled for it since it was an ultimatum of take it or continue watching us enjoy nice big fat greasy slimy Vacancy bids. You've been feeding another companies huge fleet of widebody jets for 3 years and most of us are tired of the denial which is deep in your culture. Many of us may get hosed in one of the industries most successful whipsaws, but I will have no problem sleeping at night. Just like UAL MEC, I voted for the JCBA despite knowing the truth behind LOA25 and it is still a drop in the bucket to the alternative to continue watching the hideous whipsaw.

Not that old chestnut again. Yes, yes you're magnificent widebody fleet is the end all, be all of the industry and us lowly, higher paid scum suckers should pay homage.

Pure and utter nonsense. You're MEC went along with this just as ours did. Just because you choose to vilify one MEC and not the other doesn't make you correct and may I suggest starring more carefully into the deniability mirror as you seem to under its powerful spell.

All hail the mighty United !!

Pretty sure I spray no arrogance...not sure where your giant cooky attitude came from.

Hopefully you will be able to secure the chip light before you retire ,either way hopefully soon!

So are you really denying CAL pilots have not been feeding UALs wide body fleet? Who was feeding it then? I never said it was the end all but that it was big.

I'd probably consider it if I had any idea what you were referring to?

When you say the bottom 5% of the CAL list do you mean the UAL guys on the CAL list or the actual bottom 5% of the CAL list? I haven't heard anything about this?

UAL MEC: 12 Yes, 3 No, including LOA 25

The UAL MEC could easily have manipulated the SLI process by giving signing bonus money to their furloughs as if they were on the property to prove their sincerity to the arbitrators that they really consider them to be so. They did not.

That's one theory. Another theory is that the merger SLI will be based on May 2010 and therefore will not be influended by LOA 25 or the "signing bonus money" (which is retro-pay money on the UAL side).

You should have said hi. I don't have an expectation of the CAL merger committee doing anything to represent me, I do expect them to act ethically however. The CAL MEC and negotiating committee on the other hand were legally obligated to represent the interests of the furloughed United pilots flying for CAL and paying ALPA dues and on that they failed.

Because the UAL MEC sure didn't look out for you. Most that I fly with show up with the knife still buried in their backs. We were obligated to represent and we did fulfill said obligation. You and others moan about LOA25 but if there is any SLI ramifications, the UAL MEC is just as culpable so you can loose the holier than thou attitude. I'm curious as to what more you think the CAL MEC should have done for "your" furloughed pilots.
