Remember, the we are the union and as has been beaten to death multiple times... Teamsters is from the bottom up.
Personally, I'm concerned that they would offer up something so major in terms of QoL for those of us who either commute or have families without consulting the pilot group as a who (survey anyone?).
I'm concerned as well man but what we can do right now is send a message by voting this down en masse.
We could argue until we're blue in the face about what SHOULD have been done but what we need to focus on right now is educating those who don't see this as a bad deal.
There is definitely a disconnect between our union leadership and a large portion of our pilot group, that's for sure. We'll have to address that at a later time.
