Who does this picketing influence? Will there be co-located billboards and inflatable rats denigrating management as well? Good luck.

Makes the news and investors see that and ask themselves why they should invest in jeff smisek's investment portfolio.

But it never makes the news or keeps people from investing. It really doesn't. I wonder if it's just alpa trying to keep the peace. Good luck. Maybe a slowdown will be more effective.

Thank you Dylin

If this doesn't work then you have nothing.. might as well stay home, sit on the couch, and take it up the A$$ on your next contract. Jeff Lonenzo is just waiting for that moment.

PS: Actually it does make the news..

But the one in NYC with JP in 2008, nothing happened since. Assuming the same thing will happen (nothing), then what? What's the contingency plan?

I hope one of the signs reads "SCOPE IS NOT FOR SALE"

 

[FlyForFood_NOT]

There isn't any, unless the NMB releases us to a strike.. and a surprising amount of pilots at both UA and CAL are ready to walk out.

Jeff Smisek's latest ignorance was with the statement that we will never come back to 2000 wages (while his salary went up multiple times x year 2000). This pisses people off even more. Hopefully the BOD is watching the ontime arivals and the fuel gague (because most are burning it freely already).

There is your contingency plan.. if that doesn't work, you might as well burn the place down because with the current work rules the place is a total $hit hole, worse than Mesa..

 

[pianoman]

I go picket because it's the only thing allowed under law at the present time. When they let us do more, I will also participate. Strike fund at 4 months and counting!!!!

[bpapaDC8]

Hope it helps, although it probably wont. Best wishes to my United bros/sis. You deserve a contract NOW!

 

[rigger]

Ya and if you dont get what you want you guys should CLOSE EM DOWN!!!!! thatll show those sobs!!!

Sad to say but UAL/CAL ALPA will die with a whimper, not in some burning house of love. Why? Apathy/inaction by most members and reckless conduct against the injunction by the few (percentage-wise) loose cannons will take away our ability to self-help., courtesy of Judge Lefkow. Gotta love that Railway Labor Act. ::shaking head::

First, his salary is irrelevant to yours, and second, you seriously think wages will get back to 2000 types? I wish they would too but there isn't a chance in hell. I think Jeff was just telling it like it is.

Internet fare engines, LCC's, Webcast meetings, the Acella train, and this country's recent obsession with the lowest price on everything.

5 of the many reasons why you thinking we'll get back to 300k is completely irrational.

They used to think the earth was flat.

relief tube..
My salaray actually IS relevant to mine (he doesn't make his money on the front line.. i do)

I dont think the wages will come back to 300k range, but having people with mentality like yours (believing the company just because they say they can't afford it) - the salaries wouldn't even close to 100k.. Smisek's salary is way over 2000 wages.. why woudn't you ask for the same? He got a huge raise along with Tilton eventhough none of the synergies have been reached yet (and eventhough the merger still hasn't been labeled as sucessful yet). Now how is that possible that they're already reaking in their bonuses? They obviously CAN afford it.. believe me they can..

You're worried about LLC's?? CAL is a much leaner and cheaper run company than SW.. CAL management made you believe they can't compete with them and you've just become a believer too.. come on seriously, get a grip, and find out the facts before you believe in everything they tell you next time.
