OK - I missed the nuance & misinterpreted your statement - that can be a problem with two-dimensional Internet communication
In a similar vein, I think the Association leadership (and NC) misinterpreted the discontent, unity and strength of the crew force this summer, and thereby missed an opportunity to tell the company --- sorry, this TA is NOT sufficient.
It's NOT acceptable to this crew force
You CAN afford to give more in certain areas and our pilots have EARNED it
Hopefully, next week there will be no need for them to speculate on the level of pilot unity or speak to the company negotiators in a nuanced manner
Hopefully, the collective message will be loud & clear
But of course, it will take individual pilots looking in the mirror and asking themselves...
If my vote is the deciding vote, will this TA pass and be implemented....or will we politely and firmly reject it, and thereby hold steadfast for what we've earned?
Wow, it really is up to me.
It's a very important business decision --- for the long term
