"Cavil!" Good word usage. But to your point, it has nothing to do with the amount of dissent. What matters is the dissemination of that dissent to ALL pilots. Pro arguments get splashy pdf's sent out to every pilot immediately from the MEC. But Con arguments are limited to an LEC email that goes out to only that council? You have to see the inequity there.

Both sides of an argument ALWAYS matter to me. In my business, I don't tolerate yes men around me. I need to see the opposite viewpoint of my own.

I voted against it because the pay raise wasn't enough, but mostly because we were still caving in on scope. Since then, we've caved even more on scope. So yes, I'd like restoration.

But someone who voted against it? That's a paradox.
Hopefully my above post clears up the paradox.
