If these guys know more about the company than we do, I would prefer that they just tell us what they are going to ask for first. Then we can argue about it BEFORE the TA comes out.
No kidding.
I think a good place to start would be to get
post-TA reviews of polling data. It's obviously a bad idea before, and during negotiations. But once, just once, I'd like to get a snapshot of where people actually stand.
It would instructive, when having discussions about where we should be, to understand where we actually were. Thing is, when speaking to various reps over the year, I got the vague sense that maybe the internet pilot community would be awfully surprised about what people ask for in private. Might make 88 Driver's brain explode, and his heart collapse. Or maybe not. Because it's all supposition, with no actual data.
Why
wouldn't the preparations for C2015 include an honest review of 2012, with the membership?
