You guys sure are consistent with your blame game. Ever notice how EVERYTHING you hate most about your career is the fault of the United pilots. Then you wonder why a UA pilot has any interest in what's being said on this forum.
So now we have the two most recently notorious poster, sending inflammatory PM's and grandiose, unsubstantiated claims, while patting each other on the back for being such masters of the "truth." Yet neither of you can come up with valid responses when proven wrong or when your so called facts are questioned. Just name calling and insults... the sign of a beaten opponent.
Just because you read something on a wailing wall or bathroom stall, or hear it repeated ad nauseam in the cockpit doesn't make it accurate. So once and for all, show us all exactly where UA pilots were responsible for removing DOH from ALPA's merger policy. Should be easy enough since you always bring it up. Tell us when, the process that occurred, who voted for what, and how the result came to be.
Or could it be that a democratic process occurred, majority ruled (a concept you only seem to understand and support when YOU are the majority), and the outcome was something you now find unfair due to your personal situation and want to avoid? Show us the facts. How many years did you live with the new merger policy without so much as an attempt to influence it, or a peep from any of you as to how "unfair" it is. Could it be that you really have no idea how it came to be, but are too embarrassed to admit it? Let's see how honest you can be. I already know the real answer. Why not show the rest of the community here how much you REALLY know.
And btw, ALPA never killed DOH or prevented it from being used. It was taken out as the sole criteria so that each merger would turn on it's own merit. The fact that not one pilot SLI in recent history has used DOH, and now federal law mirrors ALPA merger policy with the Mc Caskill bill, is a testament to it's validity.
But have at it, and prove me wrong.
