The biggest thing holding us back from getting a better LOA is the misinformation campaign that it's this one or nothing.

I believe the first mentality is coming from the crowd making a killing off of Draft and Volunteer right now. The second is the average FedEx pilot going about his/her business in a usually divided labor group.
Gunter,
Respectfully, Good points but whoa man! Even the poll 20% for and mgmnt have a right to post. Who knows who flycast is but Capt. Irizarry, Block 10 Subic, hasn't even given his minority opinion yet.
IMHO this is solving all the worlds problems at the bar talk, which I'm up for any time by the way, until we at least read the dissenting voice, the majority opinion again and probably reread the LOA. I'll abmit I'm inclinded to vote No due to the first of your reasons, misinformation, and many others but shouldn't we all at least wait a day or two for the full scoop? Could there be anything the MEC won't or can't tell the rest of us about this LOA? Fedex has always had a plan b and c since the flight adv board, FPA and now Alpa. This is a rumor board and I sure haven't read many from the union house. If I get blasted here so be it.
