NDA's do nothing but separate union leaders from their members. Which is precisely what management wants.

I've always hated the idea of NDA's. I guess the BOD guy would have to maybe do it, but other than that, forget it.
If ALPA is supposed to have this awesome EF'nA then we don't really need double secret classified nonsense that we can't tell you about but trust me and sign here.
If the EF'nA isn't sufficient, then what makes anyone think the company would be 100% honest with any of us, especially those of us who are sworn not to tell?
I think NDA's are a great way to divide the pilot group into elite leadership that knows more than the rank and file but can't tell them why. When that happens, we all lose.
