It would be a good thing if it happened, but the the mechanics would never go for it.robbedagain said:wings I agree with you
700 do you think it would work out if the 141 and 142 got together again or would it be different
You sir, are incorrectograc said:The very team you strongly endorsed 6 years ago. Fact is... the more you bash this team the more your credibility, what's left of it, erodes. Maybe you can ride the coat tails of the UA dissention and get yourself, and the two inexperienced candidates you're running with, elected on the US side of the ballot but that will not translate into anything for the good of the membership at US. Many on this forum see your present agenda. Many on this forum know your history. You cannot escape the past sir. What is done in the dark will be brought to the light. By the way... when I'm considering voting for AGC and VP positions I'm looking at experience at grievance representation; not the current status of contract negotiations. You seem to have overlooked this consideration. Let's discuss and compare AGC candidates' experience in representing grievances. I'm sure you would agree this issue is paramount, when considering endorsement of an AGC. I know you want to keep the focus on contract negotiations. I can appreciate that. However, the election is about more than that. What should members expect, regarding grievance representation from the district, who are assigned recently elected popular AGC candidates from other cities who have no experience? This election is not soley about contract negotiations Sir!
I don't dispute the past contracts have been sub par. The first 1999 agreement was gutted through two bankruptcies. The membership voting on "Final Offers" with the looming threat of having the existing contract abrogated. IMO... the 1999 agreement was very loosely written when representing grievances. Too much gray language; the company "may" or "when in doubt of a bona fide claim" or "based on operational need." When you're a Grievance Committee person or AGC this is the language you battle with. Representing grievances is the primary responsibility of an AGC. Shouldn't we be focusing on track records and experience representing grievances when considering the candidates for AGC? This is mid May. Elections in my station are a little over three weeks away. You should know... In the political arena a lot can change in that amount of time. Retirement? Nah. If my job gets outsourced I think I'll bring my 34 years to a hub for awhile. Semi retirement.Tim Nelson said:You sir, are incorrect
item 1: Only two candidates from 2008 are running for spots that I, and 80% of the membership supported them in 2008. At any rate, just because you vote and support someone in the past doesn't mean they are entitled to your continued support, especially after they betray the membership. The reality of the situation is that you, sir, ran against 141 rising less than 2 years ago and said they were not the answer. So, even though you won't vote for me, I hope you vote for many others on my team.
Item 2: The majority of US AIRWAYS candidates on 141rising were the same ones who brought back the terrible 2008 US AIRWAYS contract, and endorsed the terrible United contract. And have already signed off on less than $23 wage in the current negotiations. Also, they signed off against increasing scope. They did put another Cinderella date in there that rubber stamps non hubs another year. That's all you wanted, right? So you can retire?
Item 3: Credibility? Let's see how credible your boys are when they bring this sorry mess back. Your boys are all talk and haven't done squat in 6 years other than blow up contracts for our craft.

Has Carr told you about Sito's plans for the association and timetable?
