It's not talking points it's my own independent analysis. You also have little regard for the actual timeline of events that were leading up to the 717 and CRJ return deal. Do you think Boeing and Bombardier just woke up 2 weeks before the deal was done and decided to wheel and deal some airplanes? These are multi-million dollar assets not tied to a pilot working agreement.

That said, if the company had been snubbed on the PWA, it's my opinion that we'd still be negotiating, and they'd be hanging new motors on CRJs.

I don't care what Lee Moak says - he works for me. And yes, outsourced RJs are good for me - again - all independent analysis. Not talking points. Did you miss the part just 2 hours ago where I said ALPA wasn't representing my interests? Sounds like you're the one with the broken record issue.
I pretty much disagree with everything you said here (except for the part about ALPA not representing us) but whatever makes you feel good about voting yes for years more stagnation go for it. The deal was geared toward reducing the 50 seaters with carefully crafted talking points focusing peoples minds on "hey we are reducing the total number of RJ's system wide, sounds like a treat" (not already existing large RJ's) and you know it.
