Johnso,
It may not seem like it but I, too, am undecided in which way to vote. I'm trying to be rational and unemotional in my decision making. I also agree some scenarios are techinically possible but pretty far fetched. I think the company trying to "Force Majeur" the ratio away with "a circumstance beyond....blah....blah" or "ALPA will bend over and give the company relief from it" as pretty farfetched. On the other hand I can see the company, at some point for whatever reason, reducing the ratio to 1.56 and parking larger paying aircraft... The plus is we would have more aircraft, the minus is they would be lower paying.....
