Couldn't disagree more. It's a really bad idea for any pilot to vote for a strike if they don't 100% intend to strike. Every pilot who does that actually hurts the negotiators. All sides need to know that the strike vote wasn't just to send a message, but a guaranteed vote to walk away en masse.

Sadly, you may be right on that. DALPA may have already given away a fatal amount.

Isn't it sad that you have to "hope" that Bar? Isn't it sad that you don't know for certain that ALPA is finished with scope sales?
