"After receiving the Negotiating Team’s presentation on Friday, February 21, 2014, and, after very deliberative
and careful consideration as to its merits in the last ten days, the Executive Board’s consensus is to put the TA to
a membership vote without comment."
How can the EBoard remain silent while the NC overwhelmingly endorses the TA? This is an incredibly conflicted message. One of the NC members is on the Eboard. How can he be silent in one letter to the membership and in support of the TA in another letter?
This is incredibly dysfunctional and a COMPLETE failure of leadership by the E-Board.
The E-Board is making a very wise move...the company has been trying to project blame for the slow pace of negotiations on our "unreasonable union leadership." If the union leadership stands aside as this TA gets voted down by 80% of the pilots, the company can no longer use that excuse.
It's pretty simple, actually.
