I'm not picking on him, but that's one example of the reams of misinformation that existed and still exists today. Hey, I was not thrilled with the TA either, but in the end I made my decision based on facts and not fallacies or scare tactics. And no, I am not suggesting that everyone or even most of those who voted no did otherwise, but as this example points out, some did not understand what was in the agreement when they voted.
Two words for you, good sir!
"WHITE PAPER"
D-ALPA speaks of this "misinformation" causing the TA to fail. You speak of it above! The misinformation of the pilot group, and the blame of ALPA for the TA being voted down, is at best a tired argument.
In my opinion, D-ALPA had EVERY opportunity to present all of the cold, hard facts in a PRO/CON paper to the pilot group. In contrast, they chose to "sell" it to the pilot group like a superficial (political) ad campaign. (Seen any of those lately?)
Believe what you want, but this pilot group is much more intelligent than D-ALPA and the Company give them credit for being.
