Here is a news flash for you, whatever you know, whatever you think is a big secret, they thought of before you did. One of the many things that suck in your position is that you are trying to play poker with all your cards on the table.
@ Ramrod (btw love the reference)
The reason you will never see a union email stating the things you are requesting is simple, liability. Once a rep, officer, or management puts something in write whether it be in email or public filing they are now 100% responsible for the words that are being published.
I would love to read fucck the company emails and see a line drawn in the sand but we publicly are never going to see that. Does it make us ****ed off and feeling like mushrooms? Yes, but that is how the game is played.
Now we just have to trust ( which is hard ) that we are going to get the best deal possible, if we don't we vote it down and the cycle starts again. The ultimate power is with us, the pilot group.
I would love to see our reps and MEC start pulling us together instead of letting the factions we have destroy us.
add: the reason above are the only reason p2p exist so they can let info out and not be held responsible for it down the road in court
