It just seems odd. TO, seemed to have a good tenure. SOT improvements, elimination of f/o recovery for OE training, a contract that was delivered ahead of schedule that appears to be better than what UAL/CAL can get years into their negotiations and a dues refund and finally, we have a candidate who sent everyone a letter asking for their support, who didn't even vote for himself. Weird meeting. With all the turmoil in the industry due to AA's BK and possible consolidation, more JVs etc, I certainly hope this helps put us in a better spot to deal with all that. It will be interesting to hear from our reps why they they voted the way they did.
