It is intellectually dishonest to compare the vote on the TA strictly to the benefits of the TA itself. This current contract is certainly not the best contract LUAL pilots have flown under. Its well below our C2000 and you can imagine most of us do not believe that it is the best we could have done.
But certainly other factors were at play, and most of the complaints by the people who so nobly advocating voting "No" were not because of the degradation in their pay and work rules.
So spare us how voting "No" on this past TA was all about the merits of it or your strong unionism and not some other agenda because we can all see through it.
