If it gets ratified and you still think it's unsatisfactory, punch out. If we as a whole think it's unsatisfactory then it won't be ratified and then we can either wait or request our reps implement new negotiators.
As of now we have seen nothing but emails from the NC that clearly show they know what the market is for airbus pilots today. Calling for heads to roll based on something that happened five years ago is just silly. Not all of the NC is the same guys. Give it a rest and start speaking with a unified voice or get out of the way.
To add: all this drama over who the MEC officers are is just stupid. They don't vote and are just a mouthpiece. I really couldn't care less who they are or what "regime" is in place. They are about as important as a talking head on a 24hr news station. They just relay messages. We need to focus voting yes or no to a new contract and speak with a unified voice. This playground BS needs to stop.
Well said! Does it really matter? Maybe a little but this place is a whole heck of a lot different than the last time a contract was agreed. Not anywhere close to the same kinda place. Guys know exactly what the other guys are makin at other airlines, and its a good economic position this company is in. We got the final say in any TA thats brought before us.
