Seems to indicate they dicked it up again. Or they decided to time this leak that the pilot group supposedly asked for under 30% right before the numbers are out to.....wait for it...........manage expectations once again.
I agree though, he is basically going against what was said would be done. In essence using the "secret survey numbers" to lower expectations instead of letting us all see them early on which could have empowered us. ALPA loves to keep us in the dark, and make decisions for us. History repeats itself.
Lets at least hope some of the top ALPA guys manage to constructively engage themselves into better positions....politics, airline management consulting or management positions are waiting. Screw the rest of yall.
