Ultimately, you are correct. But don't forget about the full court press sales pitch and pressure (including significant scare tactics) we got from ALPA to vote in favor of these agreements. Yeah, we should have had the guts to vote NO (some of us did), and part of the blame certainly goes to those who voted YES. But ALPA is not without blame in this. Not by a long stretch.
