2014 Pilot Discussion

I imagine organizing an illegal job action is grueling work.
 
You want to help Mike buy a cake from Pheonix.
 
Be foreworned, they're only half baked.

 

[Phoenix]

I have no doubt he put in at least that much time. The work is grueling and thankless.
We should pay him

 
 
If the company were ever to find it in their heart to pay a captain that has no 1st class medical, and not even make him use his sick time first, with the promise of paying him for unused sick time upon his retirement...

Too bad for you and luvthe9 that Hummel beat your recall by a very large margin.
 
Cleary on the other hand couldn't run for re election because he knew he would lose.

Years from now everyone will remember the names Bradford and Cleary for winning the seniority battle, the other guys will be those middle of the road forgotten names that never did anything much to stand out in a crowd.  
 
No body remembers who was at the head when Wolf gave us Parity +2% pay raises.  But everyone remembers when seniority is at stake.  John Prater stood by like a noodle to let it be taken, and Brandford/Cleary saved it.  They will be remembered.  The end.

That may be true, but he can always claim intellectual property rights to the Unique Corporate Transaction (UCT) acronym.   No one else will fight him for that one.

Former pilot union president sues over vacation time
http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2014/05/27/4936204/former-pilot-union-president-sues.html#
 
In his lawsuit, Cleary claimed he worked seven days a week for the union for most of his four-year term and took only seven paid days off during that time. He worked on those seven days he took off as well, Cleary said.
 
Claxon, your comments please.

Comments? OK.
Compare Ferguson to Cleary.
Ferguson- the Nic Nightmare. Millions to Marty. Loss after loss in court because of simple legal comprehension. Now the PHX pilots are in serious trouble in a merger.

Cleary? A win every time. No Nic.
So Simple Even a Traitor can see it

 

[Claxon]

Only Trader and Munn still have not figured out how bad Ferguson set up his group. They are in a very bad position now, due to him.

 

[traderjake]

 

 

Cleary? A win every time. No Nic.

 
Hope you haven't spent that vacation money yet.

USAPA Communications
I wonder why this meeting is being called? Hummmm???? USAPA = Pyrrhic Victory. The UELs and USAPA may have done it again.

 

[700UW]

Give it a rest, no one believes you nor do they like you.
 
So what "great pain" will USAPA feel?
 
You are a broken record.
