If you're concerned about them then get your survey filled out.
So let me get this straight. During the 117 negotiation we came to an agreement for 5:15 per day. ALPA decided that was too good so to "offset" the cost to the company ALPA decides to introduce them into the deal. The company never wanted them and wasn't the party that introduced them?
So far I've heard of NOBODY that wants them so to say they originated with the pilot group is hard for me to believe. Now that we've been talking about them I know there are a few guys that wouldn't mind them, but before the 117 thing I'll bet there were less than a dozen guys out of 12,000 that asked the reps to bring us CDO's.
After C2012 I have no faith that what we put in the survey will actually steer the NC. If 95% of us say no in the survey they will still show up in a TA.
