The "No" reps abstained from voting rather than voting yes and appearing to support the TA. It is now up to us as a pilot group to stop this downward spiral and prove that those "No" reps DO represent our wishes.
On the ORD blast we were told that they voted yes because they "believe" that's what we want. The other bases say we don't support the TA because you have told us you don't want it. Big difference! Other bases have meetings and constant talks with the membership, in ORD we are discredited due to our emotions and we don't host meetings.
