They are parking the 50 seaters as fast as they can. Overuse of the 50 seater?? Yes they are over used, they lose money so you want to give away bigger profitable airplanes to company's YOU DO NOT work for? The 50 seater were gonna be parked. We could have taken back that flying.
We were not dragging our feet. MGT. Controls the clock during negotiations. We were waiting for the right deal. We were offered Deltas deal before this merger mess and tuned it down. I guess you probably think that was just premerger posturing.
As for union work I have volunteered on committees in the past. Mine was lost due to the merger, not very many CAL types welcome now. So shut your hole.

Lame excuses for not wanting to be apart of the future of fixing our union...Glenn and Mark found a way to help...CAL guys. Did you speak up when your rep spoke of his pleasure to drag this on forever?
Today...we contract way more 50 seaters than our competitors. I want a scope that protects our jobs as much as our competitors is competitive.

And why would you be offended if a UAL asked you anyway? I said it to your MEC VC in person in public IAH Trng Ctr SEP 12...along with almost every class.

You have some serious flawed logic when it comes to scope. " I want a scope that protects our jobs as much as our competitors is competitive." That is some genuine frontier gibberish. I think what you are trying and failing to say is that you want to protect jobs and make the company competitive.
First of all nobody told the company they needed to purchase those planes. The company screwed up by doing so, not the pilot group by refusing to allow larger planes in the past. By your logic all flying should be given away, just think how profitable they could be then. Or is it we should only give away the flying you no longer wish to do so that you can get a raise.
Secondly, if you are so concerned with being competitive, why not have us fly the planes at a rate that is competitive. At least it would be flown by pilots that have been trained by UAL, care about the UAL passengers and the well being of our company.
The company is coming for the 90-110 seaters next time. They have no intention of putting them on our property now because they know guys like you can be bought off. You are correct I voted NO. I will never vote yes for a contract that gives away scope or job protections.

If you are referring to Jason Barons comment, then you are taking it out of context. His comment was used not to delay negotiations but to influence your side to quit demanding the 747 get a higher pay scale, so we could move forward. Just because we disagreed with your position, does not mean stalling occurred as to drag out negotiations. You guys wanted your plane to pay higher, we did not, and a nasty battle ensued. This comment probably speed things up as it conveyed to your side that we were not going to relinquish on the point. If Jason wanted to stall negotiations he could have voted not to approve this contract at the MEC level. If Pierce wanted to delay this contract we would still not have one. Maybe you should have talked to your side and told them to agree with Jason sooner.

How many Committees are led by ex-Cal pilots? Glenn and Mark were elected in a base that is dominated with ex-cal types. Had l-UAL been the dominate vote they never would have been on the ballot.

70 seaters were already at express before our JCBA vote yeah? I've never voted to give our flying away but don't crap on my legacy predecessors who saw their airline attacked and on the verge of going away after 9/11, as well as American. Bought off? How do you accuse anyone of being bought off as you also brag of your Junior manning 200% collections? Why would Jeff listen to you during negotiations as long as you'd take the money?
Btw, I would never pick up a trip for straight or double time with guys on involuntary furlough. I did not "brag" about it either just pointed out that I am prepared if I get knocked down to reserve or off my position, as one of your guys was wishing bad Karma on all of us JR Capt.

You want a unified pilot group, right? You won't win over the pragmatic from L-CAL if you keep insisting we sat around in private high fiving each other over how awesome it is was that we were getting upgrades despite POS Contact 02. BTW, I told Jabba the Hut long ago that he was a waste of space for making the remarks your kind loves to tattoo on every CAL pilot. And Ben, sorry got no love for his bombast either.
