Not true. Walsh did not work to "revoke" anything. He does however, think that the Polar folks should be represented in the GCAP while they are still a separate pilot group from the Atlas boys. Considering DHL's ownership is in Polar, not Atlas, and for the moment there is still a Polar pilot group, it makes sense to do this. At the time of that hornswaggle, the 1224 was in charge of GCAP. For reasons that I won't go into they aren't now, and one of our guys at Astar is.
Now wait a minute. The reason that Polar was not a member of GCAP is that because they were initially not invited due, I understand, to their intransigence. To insinuate that this is somehow Atlas pilots doing is WAY out of line. While DHL does own a 49% share of Polar, it will be the Atlas Pilots seniority list (made up of Atlas and Polar pilots) that will eventually be flying all these flights.
Not totally accurate. He did say Bourne was a union raider. Which considering he made a run for the ALPA Presidency and lost, then went to Teamsters and got a job from them running the airline division, seems a pretty fair charge. He didn't say that Bourne was a "mobster" or a "scab". Also, never stated to anyone at the EB that he was "just repeating what he had heard from higher ups at ALPA". What's really classy is editing a letter and posting it without giving them an opportunity to defend themselves.
Pure and simple BS. Bourne never, ever once considered running for the ALPA presidency. He was asked several times, but it was never a consideration for him. In fact the IBT airline division presidency offer was almost two years old when he finally accepted.
You claim inside information yet the above two statements indicate how clueless you really are.
