Or talk to those reps in the lounges as they flew around the system. Or come to this board. Or ask questions at the roadshows. Are you saying that pilots are too stupid, lazy, or disinterested to perform an exhausting "triple mouse click"? Really?
Conversely, the MEC administration's pro only documents were emailed directly to
every line pilot regardless of council affiliation.
Not one single document from the MEC administration had one single con related to TA 2012.[/QUOTE]
It was my understanding that the TA was passed by the MEC. The vote directed the Administration. That's how it works.
I remember hearing and reading a lot of thoughtful Con perspectives on the TA. I remember hearing a few silly perspectives offered as Pro arguments, too. I voted Yes. You voted No. My vote was one of the clear majority. Your's was part of the clear minority.
I understand why you would call it a sell job, if the only possible alternative is that you're out of touch with a majority of the pilots.
