Again, don't you think they have played all the "Vote No/Send it back scenarios" many times???
Actually, the failure in leadership was to send it back before it even got to the MEC. I think (while I am going to vote NO) that is too late to show our resolve. That resolve should have been with the Negotiating Committee to walk away if the terms weren't acceptable. Now that we've actually gotten a TA and the MEC has endorsed it I think it's too late to vote it down and go back and ask for more. The time to ask for me was with the NC telling the Company that these terms were not acceptable and we won't take this back to the MEC. That ship has sailed and I actually believe that DAL has put one over on us again (2 out of 3 now - POS 96
, C2K
(for all of 3 years) and now POS C2012
). JMHO.
