I just think we should all understand that 6 or 8 guys decided this was going to be our contract.
The administration didn't bother with the membership or the elected reps at all.
Management called them in early and offered them a deal and they took it.
Now, after the fact, they're selling it to the reps and membership.

I haven't decided if I will vote for the TA yet but I'm concerned about how it was arrived at.

If the Master Chairman has this much power, maybe in the future he should at least be elected by the pilots. No offense to the individual reps, but as a body they seem pretty much impotent. They are bystanders just like the rest of us.
