Exactly, that's why i brought it up in another thread, and apparently some of us are just happy to be spoon-fed important info to decide our future. I just find ALPA's way of selling this TA anyway possible is a bit distasteful. I can stand for personal recommendation from my reps, but as an organization that represents our whole pilot group, they should encourage us to read the TA, stress test it, discuss it, and talk it over with our families and decide. A simple "Vote Yes" from our union just don't cut it.
I'm very pleased that my LEC reps never try to "sell" me this TA. I am not pleased that they view 75 extra jumbo RJ is acceptable in light of other improvements in our scope section. I am not pleased we are yielding to our hard thought reserve rules to something that only benefits a few, but then allow the company to pound on the junior reserve pilots even more so than before. Did I mention these reserve rules equates to 300 job losses?
