That said, a lot of this language could easily be fixed prior to a vote on the TA. It would be unprecedented, but if the MEC said, "ok, we hear your concerns over some of the language and we are addressing it with the company right now" They could get the language cleaned up and I bet the TA would pass MEMRAT. That would take real leadership though.
Just my thoughts.
It's NOT at all unprecedented. What you're describing is EXACTLY how it's supposed to work. When the NC comes out with a TA, that's not the end of the process...it's the BEGINNING! It's not my opinion, ALPA is structured to handle this exact issue. Our problem is that our current MEC chairman is trying to subvert this process through scare tactics and artifically imposed company sponsored deadlines.
