Because the way I read his Communications, especially the post TA ones, is he long on rhetoric but short details on how to fix retirement.

It looks like his stance is that we can force the Company to raise the cap (for all) since he does not want to freeze the plan in any way, not for any demographic per his own past communications. FedEx has lots of money so just pay up? It would be very helpful for those voters relying on his perspective to understand what he (and the other "No's") view as a path forward in the most talked about topic, retirement.

It is funny to me that many are realizing (coming to grips with etc) that universal improvements to the A plan are not likely (and many younger pilots want other options) yet the MEC reps like this one appear to be the very reason we did not get that chance in this TA, if that is not the definition of irony then I do not know what is. All i know if this TA goes down I look forward to seeing this group lead us to the improving best retirement package in the industry beyond what we have in this TA.
