Do you really even work for AA? You don't seem to know much about the contract.
If you do, you will be one of those guys screaming "Don't blame me, I voted NO!" for the next 5 years. Whether you actually did or not.
I don't know how I will vote. Probably yes unless there is a ton that I'm missing. You guys did this with the MOU. You didn't need us. You had the chance to show your displeasure over the last few months, but all I saw on C&R were guys listing premium trips to pick up.
There are many "yes" voters that argue Parker would understand we really mean "NO" if we all would just pass on flying, taxi real slow, and lie about maintenance write ups. That is if we would just be unprofessional, maybe do a mini wildcat strike, and lie then Parker would finally believe that we find his offer is unacceptable ...
Did it ever dawn on them that we can all be honest professionals and just tell Parker the truth by simply checking the "NO" on a ballot... And he might actually have no choice but to believe us???!!! He would have nothing to get an injunction, he would not have the concessions he needs, and he would actually have to accept the facts... I.e. The offer is not adequate.
Really. Could an honest approach be more persuasive/powerful than the deceit and unprofessionalism recommended by the "yes" voters?
