On another note, many of the pilots I have talked to that were at that meeting stated to me that they question this admins ability to get them the contract they want. If that is the case, then you must either force your reps to change them out or, recall your reps to get someone that will.
Or, we can tell them that if they don't produce, they may get voted out and lose $38 million in dues each year. If that doesn't motivate them, like T O'M didn't do for anyone in PTC, then maybe they should be replaced. A weak TA could cause the wave of change, and neither ALPA nor the company would want that. The company wants things settled early before the next round of consolidation, and that is our leverage. Will ALPA pick up on that? Hopefully.
