Well brother Bob At least you have finlay openly admitted that you are anti union. Its been a long time coming but I'm glad you got its out there for all to finlay recognize.
"Part of the solution" ??? What solution might you be talking about? The tier three debacle, the constant attack on our quality of life, the constant intimidation of our pilots you tolerate from your PMs, the blind eye that you turn to unsafe operations and the borderline illegal rulings you get from your POI, the 300% increase in our health insurance, these bulsh!t productivity meetings you have been holding, and last but not least putting pilots on the street because they had problems getting a bulsh!t permit from the Canadians. Yep Bob I really can understand how you see that you are part of the solution.
"simple fact that I'm pro-company and anti-union should be enough to prove that I care about the pilots" Bob this is so laughable that its not even worth addressing. I guess you are pro company and care for us pilots like your boss Schreeinga and Agerwal, they really do care about the pilots. Bob I think you are confusing pro company with pro management. There is a significant difference.
"Bringing a union onto the property doesn't mean that the union has any more power than any talented individual manager without a union" Bob, this just does not make any since at all. First, the pilots are not responsible for bringing a Union on the property, management and all the crap they have laid on the pilots over the past few years is responsible. Voting for representation was a last resort for a pilot group that had been generally anti union in the past. Responsibility for the union falls squarely on managements back and their history of failures. Second, what talented managers? Show me one. Also Bob you know as well as me that power is exactly what this whole Union vs management and contract negotiations is all about. Its a process of forcing total power from managements corrupt hands and sharing and enforcing work place power with the pilots through a CBA. Once a CBA is signed management will no longer have the total power over the pilots that you have enjoyed in the past.
"To me, those that hide behind a union are those that are cold hearted. They lack the courage and fortitude to stand up and speak for themselves." WTF over???? Every man that has worked to bring representation has done it with extreme risk to himself. Each one of us knew that should you and your buddies find out who we were you would quickly arrange our swift departure from the company. We have been speaking for our selves for several years now and what happened Bob was 67% of our pilots decided that they felt the same way and stood up to speak for themselves along with us. We don't stand behind a Union Bob the Union is behind us and helps us make sure that when we speak management hears our collective voice. The gutless wonders you speak of Bob reside in the cooperate halls of Options not in the cockpits of our jets.
"Jackals of society" , you have to be kidding. This is truly the pot calling the kettle black. Who are you trying to convince of this crap, the pilots or yourself???
