I rather not take that chance as I am of a different opinion of Nick . He can and did end careers.
He was the first to say "We'll just fire 30 pilots and the rest will tow the line".
Nick doesn't want constructive dialogue. Nick will sit down a listen but nothing really gets done. He just listens and sees what he is able to get away with.
The way Nick works that if he wants something from you, he just puts a letter in your mailbox and it says "sign this new contract or you will be fired". Ring any bells in "99. Then the one last year after he fired the 49ers. This is you new contract, sign it. Don't even get to choose to stay on the old one. Didn't get any choices. Even though we sent letters in stating we want to stay on the old contract, he just ignored them. Don't I get to reject a new contract if it is of lesser value? I thought was the law in Hong Kong but that is a different story.
What about the new contract that he is going to give us in six months, do we get a choice? I highly doubt it.
United just got billions from their unions by sitting down and talking.
Nick is not interested in dialogue. He is only interested in repressing the pilots so he can get his bonus.
We might be talking about two different Nicks. I am just going by history of the Nick that I know.
It definitely a sad state of affairs.
