What an amazing way to say nothing and enhance curiiousity.

My answer to UAL ALPA MEC is rather simple:

It's 2024.... Time to update the tenets. In the social media age, we don't need any evidence. We can destroy anyone based on fifth hand hearsay or simple innuendo. Evidence is so 1995. 😜

Nobody knows. Rumor was spread from the schoolhouse, which is only slightly less credible than the van driver or the pilot wives FB group.

Can someone please PM me her name, I don't ever want her on my jumpseat!

Or maybe this whole CRT "protected status" thing is a bunch of malarkey and for the most part...... wait for it...... people actually put in hard work and earned the positions they are in. *gasp* I know, very controversial take for the new generation. Find your safespace if needed.

There, you just said it yourself, the Union spin machine is doing everything they can to change the narrative and protect this pilot. After all that’s their job as you just stated right? Very cute though that you think Unions are that benevolent. You obviously need to do some research on the history on Unions and how easily they are corruptible.

The comminique said to stop talking about it, it didn't say it didn't happen. It did say the issue was being addressed, which I'm sure it is.

I also assume there's more to the story.

No I did not say that. The union’s job is to protect the pilot group- lying to 17,000 of us to shield one from the consequences of a bad decision doesn’t fall under that framework. Anyway, the import part of the message- which many are overlooking- is that sharing company obtained personal information could subject us to company discipline. That is the union functioning to protect us. Lying about what did or didn’t happen does nothing to further that message & I’d argue only undermines it when the lie is exposed. Doesn’t mean they’re not lying per se, just that it makes no logical sense for them to do so.

And cute that you feel UAL pilots who just canned practically their entire representation need a lesson on the corruptibility of unions. We know what a bad union looks like & this isn’t it.

The problem is as much as we complain about the social media generation, look how many grown @$$ men are already out there “solving” a problem whose veracity they haven’t even confirmed beyond an anonymous internet posting.want to be privy to more of this stuff? Volunteer with the union & find out how problems actually get solved. Or dox some kid off a rumor on a b!+ch board & clear a seniority space for the rest of us, I guess.

All very questionable. Except this part: Would the FAA even take a hearsay call?

Yes. Yes they would. And initiate enforcement action too.
