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.
I never said it was the best thing since sliced bread. I said it worked for me. I am not scared in the slightest. Never was. And once again, your trying to spin this like I'm some kind of alpa cheerleader. I am not. I was very clear that I voted for myself and nobody else. If it doesn't work for you, better luck next time.
