I'll say 717capt because you seem that immature and childish. You really do not present yourself well maxblast72. This is not the second grade. I can see you must have been a key component in the total disfunction of the AirTran Mec and MC.
What's next? Are you going to take your ball and go home? This could be an chance to have a professional yet productive discussion on the issue. But then again this is FI. What was I thinking?

Max provides a window into the dysfunction that was the AAI MEC. Unbelievable. Send these guys off to negotiate with minimal guidance and throw a sh!t when they come back with a negotiated deal. This lawsuit could get interesting. The first deal should have been voted on, plain and simple.

Not even close.

Oh! Oh!, I'm gonna guess, the German named know it all who can't shut up to save his life?!?!

He has also proven that he enjoys a good game of "I've got a secret" and likes to be the center of attention. Maybe he can find a sewing circle to join or something.

Yes. You can read the details straight from the horse's mouth: http://www.unbiasedfacts.org/InsideTheRingOfFire.pdf

I like Tim. I gave him and his mustache a ride to ATL when he was a new hire. Luckily we had two jumpseats. He's a good guy. However, I do not consider him, nor ALPAs ananlysts to be the horses mouth.

In recent years I've found that the the exact opposite direction of ALPAs guidance turns out to be correct.

Good history lesson. But why let the numbers get in the way of making a point?

I'm afraid that you may have lost a little credibility when it comes to 'numbers' Max What we can agee on; is the fact that a large one became much smaller.

SWA should have not threatened AT pilots, plain and simple.

Scared the taint off some people. They're still searching for it. Horrible to watch. Just horrible.

I said, ad nauseum, that SW might pull the non-integration card. No one believed me. NO ONE. The line pilots should have voted their own destiny, not the Magnificent Seven.

I'm not following. Was there not a 4 party agreement signed laying a path to arbitration? Did you believe their threats to be true, but their word on the 4 party agreement to be false? And if you believe there was a non intergration possibility wouldnt SWA have to let every unionized group go as well? Otherwise mccaskil/bond definately apply then if they took just one group? You should have let it go to arbitration after your MEC said it was not good enough. Honestly could the list have been much worse?

Wow, where were you when we were trying to decide what to do? The way you put it all together brings everything into perspective. So simple and concise! You actually used the word "definately" spelled wrong and cite mccaskil/bond so I am sure you are a lawyer or something. Thank you.

Oh no! I can't spell! Dang iPhones. What. An easy way to not answer a question. If I was there or not has nothing to do with the question I asked. If I was there or if I was not I would have made the same choice. I would have said no thank you, let's go to arbitration as laid out in the 4 party agreement. Where did you go to law school Secret Squirrel? According to you if you did not go to law school your opinion also means nothing. Maybe you could answer my question then.

It never was going to B-M, that's my point. The MEC thought they could force it, but it backfired in their face. An unbelievable outcome for the line guys. Very sad.
