CAL management just said POUND SAND

You gotta watch ALPA. They represent both regional and mainline pilots. Some MEC Chairs have the notion that bigger RJs will lead to more revenue, which will make the company HEALTHIER. (LM) Time for you guys to put a stop to this, and sue the heck out of them. HOLD YOUR GROUND!!! STEADY!!!

Heyas,

Willful violation of section one of the contract will probably be considered a "major dispute".

Filing a major dispute claim gets the NMB involved, imposes a status quo, and following mediation/arbitration can lead to a strike. Unlike minor disputes, the offending activity can also be enjoined by a federal court.

Im sure thats the direction they are going in. But as stated above, a few boxes have to be checked first. The cease and desist is probably the first official move.

If I was a Jetblue pilot, with an ALPA card drive underway, I would be very interested to watch how ALPA
handles this. Actions speak louder than words.

Do the CAL/UAL pilots have the stones to strike over this? NO!! They will just continue to blame regional pilots for the demise of their outsourced jobs.

UAL pilots cannot strike over this. Its not a violation of their contract.

Are you guys new? There are many remedies available before a strike. Use your imaginations.

Make sure you fly the profiles in your FOM, and use the speed limitations in your books too. Gotta be SAFE out there! Wasn't someone talking about our friend "BOB" out there?

Exactly. How about talking with managment and finding some common ground. A little communication and honesty goes a long way.

Jesus Christ!!!!! How many times do you need to be b**ch slapped before you realize that there is absolutely no fricken middle ground between airline management and labor groups. They only give two s**ts about their executive bonuses and the stock price. They could not care less if a one armed, narcoleptic chimpanzee was in charge of flying the plane.

It's their job to make profits for the shareholders not make us millionaires for only working half the month. I personally believe managment would welcome us to communicate more and solve these problems. Management is not some evil group up at headquarters trying to make our lives miserable. They have a tough job and put in a lot of hours. Give them some respect for gods sakes!!
