It was a
VOTE. In every vote there is a "winning" side, and a "losing" side.

Did anyone vote against C2K?

Prove it. I don't think they came close.

Thank you for making my point. You are a pilot who carefully evaluated the issues and made a decision. Did you do that with C2012? Do you think anyone who voted Yes on C2012 did the same thing?

I agree. I think ALPA could use some changes and improvements. I share my thoughts with my reps, then trust them to weigh my criticisms against the other input they get, and act accordingly.
