I have no ALPA connection, nor talking points, and like you I can live with a no vote. No fear spin.. no talking points, but I'll betcha that this contract is time sensitive for a reason, and that if this gets voted down, there will be a long time before the next one takes it's place. Like I said, I don't care either way, but it is sad what we will miss out on...
This place is depressing beyond words.
You're right about the protection language t. But as it's currently written, we cannot enforce it. It is voluntary on the part of RJ management to comply with a contract that's not theirs.
We could fix this easily with a document signed by RJ management and all relevant parties, that binds everyone to our language in this TA. We MUST see such a document before we vote on this TA.
