fatburger said:All the more reason why we should not negotiate with the company. Captain Pollock has lost all credibility because he is letting emotion get in the way of rational decision making. The Give away Gang would rather sell their soul away than stand up to the company and do whats right. 320 is right there with them in their pathetic little row boat.

Let me qualify this first: I am Neutral.
What about the ALPA’s financial adviser, is he too lying? What if everything is actually this dire and the company really does goes completely away? What would you be protecting in that scenario? Is letting the company dissolve doing what you call the right thing? If so, how so?
Face it folks, this is a lose lose situation for all involved. If you stand up and say NO WAY and they go away: Who won, what was salvaged, whose careers were protected? Other carriers? If so, you are still out in the cold. If you say, OK and then they furlough you anyway, then I guess the captain was right saying at least there are some benefits that are not there in liquidation.
Every employee of U is trapped and has zero control whether they want to admit it or not, it's fact. The only thing you can do is wait till the bitter end and lick your wounds and move on, or move on now or ASAP.
It's not in the control of the U employee anymore, and they know it.
