Albie,
No arugment here. Had a long talk with my rep on the phone last night. I was told that this was not a unilateral DW decision, but the result of a number meetings/tele-conference calls, some times very contensious! Even he agrees that the way it came out sucks, and he wasn't happy with how that happen. But it is where we are, and regardless of how it appeared as DW telling us all to "shut up and color", it simply wasn't that, at least according my rep.
I just want the best opportunity for ALPA to be able to infuence the inevitable change in the "regulatory age", and if that means protecting the seniority rights of all those on the seniority list, so be it. I'm saving my energy for the real fight, when/if ALPA officially changes its postion and then the real work (letters to Congressman?) to look after our retirements, and tax issues!
