What happens as we add A330-300 to replace 7ER flying under the same premise?
Make sure they're prepared with facts as they grab the torches and pitchforks. JMO.
Slow,
I agree 100% with you. The more objective and fact based the better for everyone.
That is why I am so disappointed in the MEC. I have heard a few guys have said "We felt the Pilots should have a vote on this."
Well that would be great if they presented both the good and the bad, let the No voters provide counterpoints at the road shows etc. In other words share information, answer questions, and stop selling it like a bunch of used car salesmen.
I would have a lot more respect for DALPA if they just said something like:
Here it is guys, it has some good thing, some bad things, vote what you think is best.
Instead we get - This is awesome if you don't vote yes the evil NMB will come in the night and take your first born type of tactics.
My 2 cents - Scoop
OBTW - I voted yes open C2012 but will be voting NO shortly.
