Shortly:
You say there was an offer from Nick R. in principle only. Didn't know if you noticed but Nick does not have any principles. He is the guy that fired the 49ers in the first place. Dave called it on Nick's recommendation. Who do you think is running Flight Ops, not Ken? Nick told the AOA (April) in front of the Labor Board that he would just fire 20-30 Pilots and the rest will be so scared that they will tow the company line.
The most Senior of the AOA team will not sell out any 49er for the sake of money. We are not Singapore Airlines yet. That is why we did not have a vote. Nick mentions a lot of things in passing/principle but never delivers because he did not have the power (back then) to do so. Even if the AOA sold out the 49ers and accepted (by vote), Nick would have gone to Dave and he would have turned it down. I think Dave is a bubble off centre anyway but that is another story.
You state other ridiculous demands. Who did you get that from, the man of principle? Ever hear of negotiation. Obviously you know nothing about it.
Nick R will tell you anything that will get you anti-AOA; he is a used car salesmen and is good at Psychological Ops. He has told so many lies in the past and he cannot be trusted. But he always manages to sells cars some how.
If you wanted to sell out on the 49ers, you should have stayed in the Union but I think that is in another thread somewhere.
As I said before, the present Union will not settle for money until the 49ers that what to come back are giving a chance to come back because they were unjustly terminated.
There is an easy face saving fix to this whole mess, but Cathay does not want it fixed. They want Total Control.
BlueEagle, hope the surname is acceptable. If not, yellow card me again and it will be on a first name basis. We are all one happy family anyway.
Feet still not nailed to the floor.
