My glass-is-half-full mentality contemplates another possible, that of DALPA thinking about what the Company might come after and wanting to gauge our opinion on those subjects. I for one am happy to be able to tell my reps in no uncertain terms how I feel about each of these subjects.
You and I both know that there is a world of difference between a poll or survey, which presupposes that little to no action has yet taken place on the subject at hand and a vote on a subject after such action has been taken.
Alan,
I have a tough time believing that the reps didn't also get an earful from 330 guys on the rest facility.
But, generally speaking, I agree with you that including CDOs on the survey is not a guarantee that we will see them in c15, but possibly a gauge of sentiment on them from the pilot group as a whole. However, there is clearly a faction on the MEC that won't let them die.
I truly wish I had a glass half full view on the union. Unfortunately, with me they have an uphill battle to regain "trust." In fact, they have an uphill battle to regain "trust but verify" with me.
People jump on hockey pilot for saying what he said, but at least I understand where he is coming from...whether or not his view is constructive.
