Heyas,
It's clear from Alfa's in depth knowledge and claims that he's NOT and ordinary line pilot, but a MEC committee member (or chairman?) that has intimate details.
Keep this in mind...he doesnt work for the line pilots, nor the rep. We can't directly fire him, NOR can the reps.
The word is that after the initial presentation, the vote was 9 against, including at least one in ATL. Those 9 represented a MAJORITY of the roll call votes, which would have sunk the TA.
To think there were not political machinations that occured to switch those 4 votes is being naive.
