There is no good answer to this LOA. If we had a strong union, which we don't as evidenced by the guys flying DPs, draft while in negotiations, etc. this wouldn't be that difficult - vote it down, let the company struggle with SIBA and new hires to fill the positions or be faced with a better LOA. Unfortunately what will probably happen is regardless of how this LOA goes, there will be a TON of guys that bid the new FDAs regardless of what the Union or other people "encourage". As I understand it, this is exactly what happened when SFS originally opened - tons of people bid it even though the Union recommended against. So regardless of how we vote, the FDAs will most likely be filled with tons of volunteers in which case it might, begrudgingly, be best to vote it in.
