I DO have a problem with the card drive, especially as we enter section 6.
Every little thing that management gives in negotiations "raises the floor." If management is not sure who has authority to negotiate with them as our bargaining agent, management will sit tight until the uncertainty is resolved. There is no point in negotiating with the wrong party.
The way I see it, every card undermines the guy at the table bargaining on our behalf.
If the DPA wins the election, then I'll support the DPA (which will be supporting our pilots). However, at this point a representational battle just stalls, and harms, contract 2012.
Your post is right on the money ... participate in your LEC election. Elect guys who you support (and who support you).
JUST MY OPINION
