As for the CS, if its called ALK, its 35% of the seats and already exists.
35% of the seats
under the TA. Our current PWA only limits them to 50%.
Not saying you didn't know this, but there are still a ton of guys that don't understand all the IMPROVEMENTS to our Scope section as proposed in the TA.
We have improvements in nearly every area of Scope.
If your (again, not specifically you ACL) main issue is "not one more large RJ" then you might be justified in voting NO.
If your main issue is simply improved scope language, as a whole package, then you need to seriously consider the major scope improvements (JV, Codeshare, ALK language, Holding Company, Turboprop Exception Deleted, etc) that you would be rejecting if you vote NO.
Not telling anyone how to vote, just suggesting you make a decision based on the facts, and not what the various agendas on APC or the ALPA forum are pushing in your face. Be honest with yourselves whether you fully understand the Scope language (or whatever your key issue is.) If you don't have a full grasp, then call a rep, the DPN phone center, and read the mountain of info that's been put out.
Simply put, take the time to decide FOR YOURSELF, how you feel about the language. Don't rely on others (potentially with agendas) to educate you.
