Quite disappointed, but considering the sales job that went into the whole thing, not surprising. I disagree with your assertion that it can be extrapolaged from the vote that leverage had been used to the limit. That vote was solely whether it should be put to the masses.
We can enjoy a profit sharing check next year about the same or less than this year, as well as a less than COLA pay bump, while the company will sure enjoy keeping all that extra money in their pockets.
We can agree to disagree. I'm ok with that.
I won't be ok if there isn't a visible effort by every pilot to vote and support the new batch of reps for C2015 and hold those reps to the standard that the majority of pilots desire. That means showing up for meetings and events, wearing their ALPA pin or lanyard, getting rid of all the DPA stickers/pins/lanyards/bagtags.
Every pilot who makes a public display showing they are not unified behind the people they elected, the less leverage and resolve the Company thinks we have. I know you are a supporter albeit a frustrated one, but we need pilots to realize that unity will be necessary to keep climbing the road to restoration.
*There were ALPA reps referencing my posts on APC?
