Default CAL MEC pulls out of joint CAL/UAL MEC Meetin

In another forum it says there was a special joint CAL/UAL Mec meeting scheduled for late March. It also says that the CAL MEC pulled out of the meeting and now its just a UAL MEC meeting.

Anyone know why? Sure doesn't look good for the unity issue.

Delay Delay Delay Delay was the threat from the EWR rep at their first joint meetting...Are the lawers running the show? Just wondering....I can actually see each group going at it alone if this continues...advantage to CAL ALPA since they do have a head start in that regards...Can we all just get along?

Boy just when I thought there was hope for getting a contract this year.


"March 8, 2012; United Continental Holdings, Inc. is happy to announce it has reached a tentative agreement with its former Continental Pilot Group. Under the leadership of Captain Jay Pierce, we have reached an agreement which will allow United Airlines to move forward into the future and secure its spot as the worlds premier airline. The agreement between the former Continental Pilot Group will allow us to staff the next generation B737 Max, our current deliveries of B737s, and 787s at industry competitive rates and retain the manpower advantages we have enjoyed.

While complete contract details will be announced in the near future, the tentative agreement includes a $20,000 per pilot signing bonus, twelve percent pay increases and continues to provide the staffing flexibility for our future aircraft fleet growth. We would like to thank Captain Pierce for his help in procuring this industry leading contract and the future of United Airlines."

Just talked to my LEC reps. This is a no BFD meeting and it isn't going to matter one way or the other. The main issue that needs to get solved at the moment is the scheduling stuff and that is in the hands of JNC.

So everybody needs to take a deep breath get some factual information and chill out. Don't sweat the little stuff.

Nice press release BTW, for anybody who even hesitated on that one I've got a bridge to sell on a beach in Arizona!
