IMO the APA BOD did the most prudent thing in barely (9-7, manufactured I imagine - a nice vote of duty but no confidence) allowing the membership to determine their own fate (and getting 6 more weeks of status quo, btw). Let's face it, this is a sham bankruptcy designed to bust the unions and the company holds the best cards. If it wasn't sent out for a vote my money's that the terms would've been imposed today. It sucks but it is what it is. If it's voted down expect the judge to rule in the company's favor.

You might say the American pilots have a choice: **** sandwich (terms) or ss w/ cheese and condiments (TA).
