According to the IAH base update on the iPad, new furniture is coming to the IAH CPO this week. Comfy new chairs for Ben and friends to kick back and plot their next special deal.

From all the bumpity,bumpity talk you are jealous of their Capt. Positions. You people can't wait to displace them.

You're in the weeds as usual. What could I possibly be jealous of him of? I, and pretty much everyone outside of IAH, disagree that he has any valid points.

Apparently Leneski, doesn't and he is not in IAH, I am on the fence and see valid points, and I am not in IAH.

Not jealousy at all. The MEC along with a majority of the United pilots(including many former CAL type) stopping the former CAL "let's make a deal" mentality from the company. Why do you think the company hasn't sent out formal surplus letters?

Short answer is the company benefits from the "Houston carve-out". If passed, it would effectively allow the company to use surpluses as a longer TDY type action without the cost. The Houston CP office negotiated this deal with Ben and sold it as a way to protect Houston pilots. Unfortunately, it would be applied system wide and affect all United pilots. Make no mistake the company wants this and it's bad for all United pilots(including those that still consider themselves CAL pilots)

Stop the CAL vs UAL stuff, defend the contract and stop the rogue actions and schemes coming from some self-serving ALPA leaders.

Don't delude yourself. Leneski's IAH roots go far and deep along with his mentality.

For reference, does anyone have a copy of the resolution that must have been passed by the CAL MEC when the EWR domicile was "right sized" with displacements to IAH before the merger? This must have come up then, right?

Also, did this resolution actually get passed at an LEC meeting?

So this passed last week but there's no mention of a history of fighting for the same thing for EWR pilots who were forced to IAH. Was there a resolution to help those brother and sister pilots? Where were the votes and alarm when smaller bases were closing and pilots were being displaced? (That's rhetorical, I know this stuff doesn't matter unless it's affecting you, isn't that right council 171).

I give this resolution a high change of being disposed of at the MEC by being shown as "Discussed" and will waste time and money doing so. Nice job IAH. In unity mofo's

This is where you are DEAD wrong. As I've said 5 times, I don't want ANYONE to get bumped

Are you trying to be cagey or are you just really junior?

Sleeves. I've been a Capt here before, and held it on bids this year. Nobody's going to "displace them". If there are IAH 737 bumps, they'll have to decide whether they want to stay Capt and commute...or downbid. Same as the DEN 76T and DEN A320 bumps last summer. Nobody is taking their place.
