SWA today like the airline in the book, "Nuts!"?

I find it funny that when maxblast makes a post then backs it up with evidence to the contrary of what you and PCL are saying that you some how find it inappropriate to post. Maybe if you would stop spouting B.S. he wouldn't have to post those "top secret" memos.

It's very easy to cherry pick stuff out of context. Reposting confidential stuff on a forum like this is an incredible breech of trust and serious lapse in judgement.

Notice that the other three members of that committee haven't felt the need to act in this manner, and no one is blaming them. This braying jackass is drawing this attention to himself. It is a situation entirely of his own making.

After reading page upon page of this debate and seeing certain individuals spout over and over again that we had protection from: our contract, the process agreement, M-B, etc. one thing comes to mind. These people have not seen what a determined "management" can do against pretty much any "labor" group. One of the loudest naysayers was but a cherubic 19 year old back in 2001. The aftermath of which we still have not recovered from today as an industry and a labor group.

Since the emails are all stored on the ALPA server, they can disagree all they want, but facts are facts.

If ALPA has all the emails on the server, how come they haven't produced any emails from Slick or Big Sis during the discovery process? ALPA produced thousands of email from the other MEC reps, MEC officers, and MC members (over 300,000 pages of documents total). Seems kind of fishy to have so many emails but none from Slick or Big Sis.

The emails you post are just opinions.

In my opinion, more AirTran pilots trusted the former Communication Chair/MEC Chair more than Slick. What is wrong with having the Communication Chair's opinion out in the open? That is what discovery is all about.

Don't know. Sounds like a question for ALPA.

Nothing...as long as he's the one choosing to do it, and not you.

What planet were you living on in early 2012? The Merger Committee Vice Chair and PCL128 went round and round on the AirTran forum about SIA #1/#2 for weeks.

We captured the whole discussion. The ALPA attorneys were thrilled to see all those discussions in print during the first 4 depositions. I am sure Lee Moak is glad PCL128 is out there running his mouth on public forums all day long. That keeps ALPA's exposure to a minimum.

You guys need your forum back...

Or possibly a question for the judge.

Agreed.

And mark it down. I agree with PCL and Ty. This type of internal union issue ought not be on display for thousands of anonymous to read- its just an ineffective attempt to get this judged by public opinion- which is fairly worthless-
Better to keep this in the circle, however neurotic and weird your circle is and was.
