Pegasus ,
Do you know the meaning of the term invective?
If so show some examples that I have used!
As far as being bitter is concerned it couldn't be further from the truth.I may be disillusioned at your lack of leadership and curious about your motivation and direction but not bitter.
By the way your analogy of the AICCA and the AFAA is a very poor one.The 75% stand down was not lost because the company decided to sit down with them and not the boys union.It was because the AICCA stuck their head in the sand and said it won't happen.They were effectively out manoeuvred by the company and the girls union was the company's vassal.If the AICCA had put an effective proposal to the company and arbitration it would not have turned out the way it did.Basically the company told arbitration that two out the 3 parties had agreed so it went through.
The company did not win..WE LOST..they out played the union because of their arrogance...sound familiar
