Nice try, but Cortney Borman got almost the required 50% to be VC of CLT. Runoff election now in progress.
These guys are hard over on evading the Nicolau Seniority list at ANY and ALL costs. They don't know what they want, they just know that they don't want the "Nic".
A330 Captain retiring this month will have lost close to 3/4 of a Million dollars, had they accepted the list and finished negotiations. What a shame.
I have to congratulate you on a point you make.. "they just know that they don't want the "Nic". ".... Many folks mistakenly think all this passion is about getting DOH, but you didn't make such a foolish miscalculation. Indeed it is all about preventing the Nic. Anything but the Nic...and the West is at least as passionate about getting the Nic at all cost.
It is all about the Nic, either way, and that tells you everything you need to know about it.
Feel sorry for me if you want to, but its a waste of your emotions. I don't care in the least for how you feel yourself, or about what you think about how I feel.
I am ambivalent about the whole thing and don't even think about your feelings except for when you guys ask for the jump seat. I see grown men unnecessarily kissing my ass to ride the jump seat. Their whole body drips with feigned and overdone politeness to get on the plane...terrified that if they let one real thought escape them they wouldn't be able to ride... and the funny thing is they could cuss at me, call me names, and have a tantrum, and I would still welcome them on the jump seat. Everyone gets to ride as long as they are professional to the PAX and FAs. Just like a kid on "time out" sitting in his time out chair... As long as you are sitting there I don't care what you say or express. Its your seat to do what you want with. Heck I've even had guys talk about the Nic for three hours. Suit yourself. We have free water, snacks, and even tissues if you want them. Welcome aboard.
