Numbers matter! Who has the bigger group?

UAL pilots should do the same thing but instead of changing unions should get the contract moving in the right direction.

Care to enlighten us with your vast contract experience what exactly it is we should be doing?

The UAL pilots should be using their superior numbers to stuff the CAL pilots into a hole.

That's a great plan. You guys are already in a hole. So let's dig a real huge one that we'll both fit in. Management will love it!!!

Oxymoron...........

Exactly. It is managements job to build a good airline.

It is the pilots job to get paid as much as possible to fly safe airplanes. Why is the union concerned about the viability of the carrier? One of the first decisions the unions publicly asked is the new carrier going to be viable? What a stupid question for labor to be asking.

Did labor have the control to decide this question? No. Labor does not set the business plan. It does not set the goals. It does not execute the business plan or make the future happen.

Labor does their task and performs it as needed. Management makes the plan and meets the goals.

Pilots think they are management. Flight attendants and mechanics do not. FA and mech show up, do their job, and get paid. And management fears FA's and mech's because management knows if it screws with them they will stop doing their work, slow down doing their work, and create HAVOC.

Pilots, on the other hand, think they can play tiddly winks with management and beat management at three card Monty.

And CAL pilots have been playing tiddly winks with management for 25 years. CAL pilots do not act like airline pilots. Ask a CAL pilot what he wants and they will start talking about the viability of the company.

CAL pilots should be concerned about how much they are getting paid now. Not what is going to happen, what might happen, or what could happen.
