They wanted these guys bad and vouched for them. They even called for a special MEC meeting, which we all had to pay for, in order to thwart any attempt to hold elections. It's really just a side bar issue. I'm curious to see if the same reps who vouched for our negotiators will support what the negotiators produce.
No one should support what the negotiators produce, regardless of if they are elected or appointed or how political it is, if the final product sells our more DC-9-10 replacement jets to alter ego labor busting C scale airlines.
If they bring us something like that and then threaten "well we'll quit and you'll have to start from scratch" then let them quit, go back to the line under our current book like the rest of us and we'll start over and do it right.
