I truly appreciate all the work that went into the contract comparison, and the contract surveys etc., etc...in the end I know how much we used to make, how much FEDEX, UPS and SWA pilots make. I know about UCAL, AMR and USAPA; I worry about the economy, cabbotage, and Chinese carriers flooding the market with state supported A380s...I expect DALPA to follow the path in negotiations that we tell them to follow and if the end product doesn't meet my approval, I will vote "No" (as I have twice before to no avail)...but in the end I will accept the fact that my vote (and my opinion) means no more or less than yours....good luck to us all!
