This is all going to come down to votes. We already know who the "Joe Merchants" and the "Captain Tonys" are; and we also know what their agenda is. Bottom line is that any TA will be subject to votes, and management wants this done quickly. If they find a mutually beneficial system that will serve both the company and the MAJORITY of the pilots, it will go through regardless of what the asa MEC wants. It's that simple. If the asa MEC thinks that the company owes them anything, they're delusional.
Let's see how this goes, but I have a feeling that the only losers will be the privileged circle in ATL, you know who you are.....you should've gone to mainline when you had a chance! This is no longer an airline for lifers!
