i heard at the local the other day they had less than 40 people show up to voice any displeasures. I believe these numbers to be correct because i spoke to someone who went to the morning meeting and was told less than 10 people showed up. An afternoon attendee told me there was about 25-30 at that one.
Where did I say fleet service could stop a merger? What I did say is that United would have to deal with the ramp before a transition could go through. Politically, through the union, and with a vote we could 'stop transition'. That is still true.you sound a lot like Tim did a few weeks ago , going on about how there would be no merger without this TA going through , but now he knows better … this company and united will merge with or without us ..
a slight hand of humorTimmy, are you gearing up? Still looking forward to our shopping trip!
Check out your number of posts as of your last one. It had toa slight hand of humor

couldnt have said it any better! Thanks!With renegotiations 6 months away for a new, better CBA you all would be willing to sign off this lousy TA and put off bargaining until lets say 7 more years at lie flat on the bottom of the barrel until then? I actually find that pretty amusing.
My opinion is the same as it was for the last IAM TA. VOTE NO.
If you cannot understand this than look at it this way. The Company wants you to vote for this so that means you must vote AGAINST it.
Also remember that when it is signed off the medical costs will increase drastically making this extra chump change disappear.
Vote no this week.
Damn Freedom...
Thats harsh dude.... that's like me saying I'm willing to vote no just to see YOUR raise denied.
We all have our reasons for the way we feel we need to vote, but to make it spiteful...tsk, tsk.

As for the COC that perseverance talks about , WOW …. I wonder who told you guys about it , I mean who explained it to you , a lot of you still can’t stop worshiping it … try to keep in mind that you’ve already lost it once , a second time would be more painful than the first .
You mention rat tales that I’m only seeing the shinny pennies , well I think your missing that large knife in your hand with the blood dripping off of it … there’s going to be a lot of backstabbing over in the east as you claw over your junior guys to get increased wages , and I tell ya … given the choice between rolling into your contract and keeping ours , I’ll skip your 60 day rule ..
OH one more thing , the scope for your field stations is improved with this TA is it not , from 69 flights necessary not to get cut to now 14 ? But I guess YOUR field stations don’t matter to you either …
Well bag chucker , fact of the matter is that any west worker who votes yes on this is in fact selling out their field stations .. That’s the truth , there’s no denying it so I feel no need to hide it …
The other fact of the matter is that now with the upcoming merger , any east worker who votes no on this is now selling out their brothers and sisters to the sixty day rule ….
Eh sometimes the truth hurts , but I’d rather be open about it than dance around it ..
For instance , I think we can all agree those thrown out under the 60 day rule from the previous BK are all SOL no matter what happens …
PHX could be cut dramatically , that could happen , CLT could be cut , that could also happen , these are all real possibilities ,might as well confront them head on .
However we have too many who like to hide their motives in this or that ..
I enjoy reading the posts of people who tell me I’m crazy to want to pass this when we only have to wait until dec 31st 2009 to get our section six …..
Those people don’t seem to understand that in the last TA vote , only half of our workforce showed up …. For any strike authorization you need at LEAST 50 percent , does anyone honestly believe that out of the 50 percent that voted for the TA that entire 50 percent will completely agree, to the man to vote for a strike ? No way , no how , doubtful ..
I then have to listen to people , the SAME people #### to me about how wonderful the change of control is ….. When they just lost it not even a year ago …
Then on top of all of THAT , there are the unbelievers , the people who think the economy is going to be all roses and sunshine in another year and a half …Whoever they are , they must not follow the news , BEAR STERNS anyone ? 116 a barrel oil ? Airlines going out of business ? Ding dong … anyone home ?
I’m not against you personally bag chucker , I can understand your position , and if I was in the field station I’d fight as hard, if not harder than you are now .
In any future merger with any airline , there’s only one man talented enough to lead the new entity to profitability , and that man is DOUG PARKER ….. He and his hand picked team leave me astounded … I know talent when I see it , and he’s got it …
Two thumbs up for DP and his crew ….. WAY UP!
