The fact of the matter is we never got to that vote because the east MEC squawked while certain members of that very same east MEC helped give rise to usapa. The whole thing was completely underhanded but it certainly served its purpose now didn't it? The move made it possible so that we have exactly what we have now and that is complete and utter chaos. It is what it is and without a doubt in my mind the effects will last a lifetime.

Let me ask you a few questions since we seem to be on some form of reasonable discussion.
If the PAB doesn't give the West pilots a seat at the table are you (personally) and the whole West contingent willing to call it finished and all 100% of you will walk lock step with the APA in 2019 if they call for a strike?
If the PAB DOES give the West participant status but the West gets LOS in the SLI arbitration will you (personally) and the whole West contingent walk in lock step with the APA in 2019 if they call for a strike?
I know what you say what you will or will not do but I believe I know the answer and after 10 years of this stuff I'm prepared with the knowledge that you won't have the APA's back.
You have a belief issue. I have a trust issue. And therein lies the crux of the whole union matter at least for me.
