Problem is I only have 10 minutes per day to answer 100 posts most of which are grossly uniformed or swayed by false logic. The best example of this is scope. The naysayers are making HUGE assumptions regarding the profitablity of 50 seaters, the definition of 76 seaters, and the availability of 70 seaters none of which have any basis in reality, but that is not being debated. It's the same principle of national politics. Our nation is facing massive debt which could never be solved by raising taxes so some cut in benefits is necessary whether it be means testing or raising age limits but that is never discussed and the result will be increasing debt resulting in sudden devaluation of the dollar via a spike in interest on the 10 yr bond, but that is so far above the general public's knowledge that it's sad and the same appears to be true with this contract.

Many of us "Nay sayers" have the same facts but disgree with your position and/or understanding of them. Just because we disagree with your positions doesn't make us less informed, or making "huge assumptions" that are more erroneous.
Maybe your frustrations are because you aren't swaying "Nay sayers" opinions with your debate. I remedy this frustration on my end by not attempting to sway people to my way of thinking. Just debate the issues and be calm in your own YES vote and let others be calm in their NO vote. Using this method has reduced my frustrations exponentially.
Our nation's debt and tax increases have nothing to do with the JCBA TA. I don't get frustrated with my republican neighbors either when they don't think like I think regarding politics
