This is what we are dealing with. Note the attitude. It never occurred to these guys they could have both money and a marginally better QOL.
The MEC scared these guys with a great unknown "If you vote this down, we are in no-man's land". I'll ask again, since nobody (MEC or otherwise) will answer. Why the heck would our high caliber ALPA attorney put together a back to work agreement without specifying a contingency for a failed ratification?
There are about 10 pilots outside the MEC (most of which post here frequently) that think this is a good deal, and voted FOR the CBA. The rest were scared into it, or voted NO. Don't try and make it sound like this CBA has massive support.
