I spent several hours over the last 2 days looking at the published Contract Comparison, the ALPA "conceptual opener," and the TA, as well as thinking about my survey responses.

If you take the time to do this, you should not need a roadshow to decide how to vote. I am a solid NO vote as this whole process seems to be an absurd failure by our Negotiators and MEC.

The TA in no way reflects what was asked in the survey, and does not seem to attain anything alluded to in our opener.

If you go back and look at the comparison document, you will see that this TA does not make us industry leading by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, we have even reverse pattern bargained by giving up things like FO Bidding to erase some of the gains that we had made on AA and United. The NN even called the new sick leave policy "the best in the industry" while the comparison clearly states otherwise.

I am not sure how this thing got so bad but it is clearly an overreach by the company for which they want to grossly underpay.

NO WAY!
