CAL Magenta Line For 4/28/10

[FDJ2]

The merger committee chairs for both CAL and UAL served on the ALPA Merger Policy Review Committee which overhauled the policy last year. What that means is that they both have a clear understanding of the new process and the pitfalls of 'lawyering up' and handing your fate to an arbitrator (or arbitrators). I would be surprised if this turned into a cash cow for Katz or any other lawyer who is used to USAPA like spending on merger related arguments. Times are changing and it is up to pilots to end the gravy train for the lawyers that think that inciting pilot wars is an acceptable way to earn a living.

Good point, and I hope you are right.
