Ummm.....actually people it is ALL of the line pilots they think are stupid......and only 65% who were so stupid they didn't get the brilliance of what was put in front of them...

Listen...pre bankruptcy, the alpa national chair..DW...in an open mec Q&A declared for all to hear...that "Up until a few years ago....NO ONE had ever heard of airline bankruptcy and pension failures"....

How stupid do you have to think the probably few hundred audience of airline pilots are....to swallow that whopper?

The culture of alpa has corroded into a self entitled, elitist oligarchy, who perceives themselves as having been unfairly burdened with managing the ignorant proletariat.

if you understand that, then you will understand how and why they perceive this ta rejection not simply as a vote on the terms of the ta....but instead, as a vote on their very hold on power over this group.

To disregard the possibility of retaliatory 'punishment' of this group by such leadership......is done at our own very real peril.
