Answer 1: It would be a mistake to rely on that argument as a reason to turn down the TA. ..
Why would anyone need this as a reason to turn down the TA? If UAL pilots aren't going to vote on the merits of this contract and instead vote on a collection of "what-if" scenarios than why the hell did we go through this whole ridiculously protracted process? Jeffy and Fred (and apparently Heppner and Piecrce) will always be able to provide the scare tactics, so why bother with negotiations? The communications from the United side of the ALPA house are so reminiscent of the tragic CALALPA sales job for POS02 it's scary. They all seem to be reasons why you shouldn't vote NO, not why you should vote YES. Based on the overwhelming "yes" sentiment I've been hearing from UAL guys running scared, I'm fairly certain TURD12 will pass. At least I won't have to entertain any more *****ing about CAL's work rules. You guys own this one.
