Retribution? Absolutely not. Effective MEC, maybe. Too early to tell.

What most l-UAL pilots want is an end to the dumb SLI games, and an MEC chair that is in the back pocket of Jeff.

Or are you saying we will have for once an effective MEC strictly because it will be dominated by UAL alum? Quite frankly I intend to vote for a rep on merit instead of their previous uniform. Either way it's still ALPA so I'm prepared to be underwhelmed.
My opinion only but can the entire CALMEC and start fresh in a new direction. Be it CAL or UAL.

Keep effective committee structure the same unless they are scabs.

The MEC will be controlled by L-UAL but there will be no "retribution".
After SLI we will all be UAL pilots going forward.

We'll all be wearing ugly uniforms and flying for a very poorly run airline. The bolts and the nuts are not lining up. Decisions based on pennies are actually costing dollars. The beatings will continue, management will mismanage and obfuscate while pointing the blame at the worker bees. The product will continue to suffer.

I think there is a high probability that we will be going backward.

There's your happy thought for the day.

Will we ever get a MGT structure that thinks beyond quarterly stock price ?
That is the question. But unfortunately you might be right Brother Mako.
