I wonder if the SSC believes these bumps are necessary?

That's a stretch at best, they were allowed to "flyback" but they settled for a lot less than they stole (allegedly). Still waiting for the rationalization for Lynch making $240,000 as a reserve 737 CA, all sanctioned by super scab Panarello. That was an absolute disgrace and most of those guys throw up their hands and claim they were just playing by the system but they knew full well what they were doing. Just because the ATM spits out extra money doesn't mean it's yours, most of the guys in the Fagone report would be dead if they did that to the dockworkers' union.

If you are using this as an excuse for why you took 9 JM events during the Summer '08 then you are perfect rep of why CAL pilots were always management's little puppies. Myself and numerous friends had jetway encounters with 2 infamous EWR ACP's that summer and each one of us used the magical UNAVAILABLE word. Surprisingly we never heard further and had clean pay checks around our Pbs splatted line value. But oh we got told to be VERY afraid...

In my simple world, the last thing I would do with my buddy getting furloughed in 2 weeks would be to accept a JM assignment. But I heard plenty of excuses of why others just had to do take that JM. My favorite was always "ALPA won't tell us not to do it!"

It would be interesting to determine if he is the worst rep in ALPA.

The CAL guys had to vote party lines....

What is a real indicator is who the new United pilots prefer to fly with....

Unity at the UCH UAL means we LUAL know better in everything .... You WILL do it our way, we know what is best, shut up and color ... as along as you understand that, then you will be just fine. Sad truth.

Why don't you treat your self in a dignified manner? The problem with this attitude is you are allowing yourself to be 'the victim'. Until you take responsibility for yourself and your attitude you will always to play the inferior to the UAL guys.. and the need for the conspiracy theories to justify the 'injustice' done to you.....

Get this... you are not inferior. You just act it. Man up, because the past is over. Forgive yourself, forgive CAL-ALPA, forgive Jay POS, forgive the Arbs, forgive the United guys... forgive everyone but the scabs.

The Present is Now and the future is the next UPA. Which I assume you want the best UPA we can get. Is your victim status going to help get the best?

This is BS. I'm thinking there is a conspiracy against the 767 DEN guys. We need a resolution for 24 months grandfather rights to ANY fleet/seat in Denver, since the 76T is completely closing. Only fair. Carve Outs for ALL!!

Excellent post. I agree. Suck it up quit whining, strap on your man suit and get on with your life. Complaining on APC is not going to and never will accomplish anything.

What the heck are you talking about!

Since the company has declared an all out war on Denver we should get a 24 month super seniority preemptive grandfather clause anywhere in the system AND at other airlines too. The abuse going on in IAH doesn't even scratch the dust off the surface of what's going on in Denver.

Power to the people!
