Who should I believe? Shy or the union? oh the decisions.....
Of course shy will not be on this thread for a week and respond. He does that whenever proven wrong and hopes it will blow over....
No, I'll respond. I am wrong, the assumption was based on the fact that any union voting issues are standard 3 week duration for votes. Management wants these cuts effective Jan 1st, which means we have 9 days to get a vote created and tallied. I can't even begin to imagine how many pilots are already out on vacation or will be unavailable to vote during the busy Christmas and New Years period. This is a surprising step, but a good one indeed. Honestly, I wasn't expecting that the MEC would vote no to concessions. Now it is in our hands. Our big problem will be the lack of time to get the vote in.
