When a negotiation is TA'd, it sets in motion a very expensive process. In order to spend our union dollars wisely, we can only afford to send agreements forward that have a strong chance of passing. This TA was rejected, by a compelling majority. It seemed obvious from the start.
So... who is responsible for this decision, and how much exactly did it cost us?
Aside from the damage this TA might have done to the profession, what exactly was the direct financial loss of this mistake?
Anyone venture to guess? Will ALPA disclose this number? Should that person/persons be held accountable?
ridiculous. cost of doing business. get over it and move forward. do you expect your elected (political) officials to personal be financially responsible when legislation they propose does not become law???
