Now before the professor and others jump on me let me give you a quick "anonymous" background. I am a DALPA supporter a trust but verify type of guy. I voted yes on C2012 after a long discussion with. The LEC 1 FO rep who voted no. Carl has even accused me of being a DALPA lackey (or similiar). I generally believe DALPA has our best interest at heart.

c2015 in challenging that belief. There are two distinct groups forming the MEC right now those who want a quick contract even if it means a few extra gives (the old guard) and those that want to craft a better deal even if it doesn't get down by JAN 1. I have been told by someone closer to the MEC than me that the two basic groups are split 8-8 and there are three swing votes.

The swing votes I have been told are the SEA FO rep, the ATL training council rep, and the ATL FO rep DN. Now I only know what i was told and perhaps I am wrong however I do know there are people on this board close to DN. Talk to him implore him to stick up for a contract that doesn't sell more 76 seat jets, pull LCA trips from FOs, and cut our sick leave.

This needs to be a historic contract for all of us. Take 5 minutes away from the forums today and send your rep an email or give them a call. If you live. In MSP there is an LEC meeting Monday, go to it.
