Good grief. What does it take for you to say on topic. I never said a word about all LOAs being voted on by the pilots.
C2K, LOA 46, LOA51, and C2K were all
Contract Votes that's what I was talking about. That and the difference between 62% and 63% isn't that much considering the bankruptcy was in the middle. MEMRAT on the contract is our tool. It's either been used or it hasn't and there's no reason to believe a change in power will change this vote split very much. Almost the same vote 12 years apart has nothing to do with the sale of the product as it does the individual pilots, unless you think that 62% of the pilots are idiots? A perfect vote for management would be 51%. The DPA in it's current form is unprepared to unify the pilot group at all and ALPA needs to reunify the group.
If you want to go down the MEMRAT every LOA path then it needs to start somewhere and it's probably the way MEMRAT started in the first place, by a resolution.
