Here is where Ferguson sums it up:
"Now, any company has the right to do whatever it deems necessary to maintain a profit. But, that same company has the obligation to do so while abiding by the contractual agreements with its labor groups, and this is where we have a real problem.
US Airways has been blatantly ignoring their contractual agreements with this pilot group."
WHAT CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENTS???
You mean the "final and binding" one??? Where is that?
Oh, that's right, we have to have a VOTE!!! (If and unless there is no union, then you have an Onion.)
EVEN WAKE SAID THAT!!
Let me explain this to you: NO COURT CAN MAKE ME VOTE FOR A CBA! Until that happens, SUE USAPA INTO OBLIVION! I DON'T CARE. YOU WEST PILOTS DO NOT DESERVE A UNION. What you have now (or have LEFT is an "Onion" and anyway you slice it it still makes you "cry and whine" likes children.
I am an East pilot. I wouldn't waste my days ON OR OFF going to Las Vegas. NO EAST PILOT SHOULD WASTE THEIR TIME! SHUT IT DOWN! There is NOTHING you can do to stop it because you keep "defecating where you eat!"
After having watched all the committee members put in the hard work they do trying to cover your sorry ------ so you can have SOME protection from the company's transgressions all you can do is complain about "you agreed" and "final and binding", how USAPA isn't a "real" union....blah blah blah. You GET what you give.
It's time for the East pilots to move to employment at will. The "onion" will take care of itself. Because the company HAS US DIVIDED! Don't believe me???
Read their letter to the NMB attached to this post. IT SUMS IT UP!!!
