Troll bait.....

The above quote to me is equivalent to the BEHAVIOR that you don't react to well to!!! You seem to throw the "scab like" behavior term around to easily! To me being "mad or disagree" about an issue has no place in the same conversation!! I'm sure if you told us about your history in aviation, there are some things or beliefs that you have that would be considered " scab like"! (If we could all put our own definitions on them!!)

I'll repeat:

And I'll repeat

I guess we could play this game all day long troll. But I've got one better for you, welcome to my ignore list troll. I suggest the rest of you do the same. If you don't feed the Troll they soon starve from lack of attention and go away. There is only one thing this idiot strives for and that is attention. What a pathetic sorry little life she must live.

You can't admit you were wrong and apologize to the lady pilots of United but yet you want to call names. All UAL and cal pilots should call you on this disrespect to our lady pilots. With almost 2,000 post you should know better.

You've got to admit, this was pretty DEMEANING! I mean, what a massive effort to put the UAL pilots down............ LOL. You're kidding, right? Slamming the pilots is one thing, but exaggerating a comment is a bit overboard in my opinion.......... Lighten up.

Lee:

I think that's a bit of a stretch. Every word I pushed was intended to DEFEND my Pilots, and I stand by every word of it. The unfortunate truth is that is is extremely difficult to express 3 years of experience in a single page. I would NEVER do anything to rouse the CAL guys against the UAL guys; if fact, my history has indicated just the opposite. One point that wish I had included was that the VAST MAJORITY of UAL guys on CAL property have been great to work with; the very few bad apples, have been BAD. The former guys, actually called to inquire about the misconstrued mistake that I have deviated from my previous unity stance. There has been no diversion from my belief in the potential for the unified groups. However, I remain a Union Representative, and have witnessed disrespect and maneuvering on BOTH sides. There's only so many times that I'll be willing to hear my guys, some of whom were full-term strikers disrespected and insulted before I say "enough is enough". There are many things that will open eyes whenever Flying the Line 3 is printed. Until then, try to understand that many things occurring don't make their way to the forums.

Now I know there were many zingers in my com, I have not and won't apologize for what I wrote; I just wish as much attention had been paid to my closing paragraph,

I take being your Representative very seriously. I remain very optimistic about working with L-UAL and L-CAL Pilots in order to make our airline the best of the best. I have just as many friends on the United MEC as I have on the CAL MEC, though my allegiance rest with the Houston Pilots first and foremost. I believe in Pilots, I believe in the human condition. I believe in manners and humble decorum. Arrogantly, I feel that I am the best Pilot at this Airline, and I expect each and every one of you to feel the same way about yourselves. WE can make it through this, but we have to make a conscience effort to treat and respect each other better.

I do acknowledge that it's hard to accept reason after a few punches have been throw, and that I did throw those punches.
I'll be out of pocket until next week. I plan on doing some crew room time then to talk about this for all who want to listen.

Frats,

"we have 2006 Captain’s, you have 1998 furloughs. We’ve welcomed you into our ranks and offered our rations and water to you as we engage our common enemy. One would surmise that welcoming the United Pilots into Continental cockpits would elicit some form of gratitude or willingness to work together. It appears that those expectations did not arise. Instead of a willingness to work together, some of our recently acquired brothers feel that those shared rations are rightfully theirs. Now you’re in my foxhole, sharing my water, eating my rations and telling me that my water is your entitlement. "

There's always a first for everything.
