Gary Hummel on Seniority
With my first communication to you I revealed my lifelong passion for flying, record of military service to our country and a history of service to the pilots of US Airways. I will in this and future communications to you address in very clear, specific and unimpeachable terms where I stand on the issues in this election ( No you said you were a "management pilot" key term, military service, (majority of tax dollars burned your jet fuel hours), NO never heard how you stand except in PHL when you said, No one would tell you you couldn't talk to the WEST and you were willing to negotiate "ON ALL ISSUES"! WeAll of these ridiculous reports, and attempts to portray me as opposed to date of hire, or having engaged in any actions to subvert date of hire, are simply political lies at their clumsiest application and patently untrue.
ll GARY demand the EMAIL issues be put to a rest and authorize the committees findings, and hand over your laptop! NOPE didn't think so! ( GARY SORRY YOUR LIPS ARE MOVING!)
I will a start this process by addressing the issue of seniority integration. My position on seniority is, and has always been in support of the USAPA constitutional requirement for date of hire with conditions and restrictions. I find it unconscionable, that airline pilots who were furloughed and victimized by a war thrust upon their lives, their families and their industry in the aftermath of the terrorist attracts of 9-11, would now be told that their 16 years of service and seniority meant nothing. I find it absurd that within our industry where all other employee groups successfully integrate their ranks by date of hire in several short weeks, airline pilots historically and continually consume millions of dollars and five long years trying to reinvent the wheel.
So let me emphasize this point once again. My position on seniority is, and has always been in support of date of hire with conditions and restrictions. However, our seniority will be determined by the courts and should no longer be a contentious issue for anyone. ( YOU GOTTA LUV, "HOWEVER", exactly what the WEST with WAKE wanted you to believe! And this is to be the guy to lead us to our next transaction, sounds like redux "PENSION MELTDOWN", BS all over again, The BS on this guy is just laughable! MM!
