And yet the MEC voted for it by a large percentage. Explain.

Every deal I have ever seen ever in this industry has never achieved all of the goals set for the negotiations. If you achieve all your goals, you set your goals too low. C2K did not achieve all their goals. Northwest went on strike in 1998 and the pilots did not achieve all their goals.

You don't get to vote in your pay raise, you have to negotiate it. Every sane individual knows that you have goals in negotiations and then you have what is achievable. When you see the achievable, you either decide to take the deal or work on Plan B, which better produce more benefits, not less. The MEC saw what was achievable at that time in those circumstances and chose to accept the deal. The entire pilot group saw what was achievable at that time and in those circumstances and chose to accept the deal.

That was right, that is our way of doing business, democratically chosen. It has been in place for years at Delta. I get it, you don't like it, you lost the vote and so you claim the system is corrupt and wrong. No it isn't. You lost a vote and you are unhappy that's it.
