Just playing devil's advocate here, but I can't see a logical reason on why the survey results should be held from the pilot group.
Not saying you wrong here 80, but I've thought about it, and I can't seem to see that perspective. I'd want my cards hidden if I was gambling, but we are negotiating here, not gambling. The only thing I could see is if we low-balled ourselves, but I seriously don't see that happening.
The way I see it, management is going to see where the pilot group sits when negotiations begin, so what harm could it do to let them get an idea of where most of us sit now?
We are not talking about our opener here, just where the pilot community sits on major key contractual issues.
Keeping the survey results classified to only our negotiators doesn't seem fair to me. Why should our union negotiators and management be the only two sides privy to all aspects and positions of our contract negotiation when, ultimately, we are the ones who have to vote on it???
