UCon contract?

[Mr Hat]

Yeah....another idiot post. Look at the facts my friends....ALL the other ALPA airlines have fallen on this issue....ALL of them. CAL gets a major nod for staving it off as long as they have but I assure you, scope will cave. If anyone really cared about the issue they would capture ALL jet flying and be done with it. Scope is like a no frills band aid that keeps falling off. Fix the real issue of outsourcing. As long as your wasting time and effort on a band aid instead of solving the real problem, you're destined for failure.
Your gonna shut em down....Please....you gonna bark all day little doggie or are you gonna bite? And if your gonna bite are you going to waste it on scope? Capture all jet flying and do it right.

Lee Moak is the ALPA national chairman. Never underestimate how much he will lean on MECs to accept scope concessions. He has never seen a scope concession he didn't like.

Lee has nothing to do with individual MECs decisions.
Just like Pratter did not when DAL had their deals.

facts are facts

Why stop at the jets?

Gup

PBR: That was two guys talking out their butts. 90 seat airplanes aren't even in the discussion because the company is still not completely in the clear on 70 seaters. The new UAL contract will have excellent scope. We will most likely have to strike to get it, but we will....

Does anyone actually think that any president would let UAL, DAL or AA actually strike? Please. Republican or democrat, it won't happen. Sucks, but it is what it is.

Exactly!

Slow downs and sick outs are better than strikes. After six months ore more shareholders start kicking out management.

I do think we'll get released and I'm looking forward to it. It's our right under federal law. The tipping point in the equation is the extent to which UAL mgt is negotiating in bad faith. Jeff is on the fast track to getting banned from this industry just like his fellow Harvard predecessor Frank...

 

[Mr.B]

The problem with your reasoning is that the negotiating committee and the MEC will not put out a TA that loosens scope. I'm telling you, it's NOT going to happen.

I tend to agree with you. HOWEVER....nothing surprises me anymore. UAL, ALPA, senior halves of the lists....greed knows no bounds.

Me and 1436 fellow pilots? One thing I am sure of is we want a fight! Just let the process run it's course within the framework of the RLA and one day we may get our wish!

I haven't talked to one person yet that would be willing to take that....sounds like flame to me

It absolutly is. Some idiot "talks to a couple of guys in the security line," (wink wink) and then assumes this is how 7.200 UA pilots think.
