Can we agree a lot of money was wasted on this hair on fire sales job? Also, that almost any form of membership input was ignored or shut down where possible? If we can improve the system by getting everybody on the same page before hiking the ball wouldn't we be better off?
Btw, there is irony in all this. The DALPA guys routinely hide behind "Can't do that because it compromises our negotiating position"....then run an embarrassing fire drill throwing all our cards in the air followed by sending stern quotes by our CEO to the press! You think that might have hurt our bargaining position a little? Douchbagery at it's worst! Let's put new rules in place to prevent this from ever happening again please.
