Voting "No" will accomplish nothing, in fact it will probably hurt us in the next round of negotiations. This "LOA" recognizes FDA's as part of our contract, something Subic has never had since its inception. No one is disputing that the $2700.00 is "chump change"; but if anyone has any plausible ideas on how to "force" the company to increase their offer I'm sure the union would be most interested. The most salient point is to "not bid the FDA"; if new hires are going as Captains the company may see fit to increase their offer. Remember this LOA has cost the Union/Pilot group nothing, this is an out and out gain; sure the Housing money is abhorrant, but a "No" vote won't get us any nearer to what we want, not bidding will if everyone stays together.
