Its not true and ALPA needs to stop saying it.
Management is watching. They will know exactly what happened.
The pilots contacted the reps and told them if the rumors are true then this TA is not acceptable.
If it gets voted down at the meeting the reason will be that simple.
Then the negotiations can resume. That's the "process".
You seem to be suggesting that a no vote is not an option. If that's the case then why are we even having this meeting?
Read what I'm saying and not what you want me to be saying. We can negotiate until the cows come home. We don't have to accept anything they're offering. We can demand whatever we want and as long as we have the patience and intestinal fortitude we can endure.
What we cannot do and what will not be tolerated is to bait and switch. We cannot agree to something and then back out because we changed our minds. It destroys credibility.
Find me an example where that has worked. Just one.
