What pray tell, caused the change in Captain Webb's position from a no vote to a yes vote? Oh and bye the way lets invite everybody back into the cockpit who is less than 65.
Just a few quick thoughts after reading the first part of your post. Had to respond in a hurry, hub turning tonight. Hope to meet ya at tommorrow's meeting.
We're probably in the same room right now -- this would be easier over a bag of pocorn, no?
I saw some guy walk by me with Tuck on his ID a few minutes ago -- maybe we should have our own meeting in the TV room.
I believe the change in his outlook has been precipitated by the inertia on Capital Hill. When he said in April that he thought it would be better to let the Board of Directors direct the change in ALPA policy, I think he thought (that's dangerous, isn't it?) there was enough time. His opinion hasn't changed on the issue, it's just a matter of who should direct the ALPA policy change. It's looking like that needs to be done sooner rather than later, and the Executive Board (where he votes) will be the likely vehicle.
He stated his opinion on retroactivity then -- not much of blip.
