Read it again, and include the sentence that followed in your consideration. Also, my comment was in response to someone else's point that the MEC might well try to tell us that we had only a short window of opportunity to accept the deal. To which I said "Originally Posted by*skybolt*

Or what? Be left in "no mans land"?*

If it's that important, let them MEC ratify. They all wanted, fought for, the positions of responsibility, let them have the cojones to make the tough decision.

That my friend is a challenge to the "leadership" to step up to the plate if they consider it necessary. Last time, they hid behind our skirts. Ask Ramrod for specific details, the short story is that we were sent back to work after our strike without a ratified TA, and essentially told that we had to accept their deal. They gave us no choice, then hid behind the fact that 74% of the pilots voted yes.
Just throwing this out there, but when a pilot group works under the RLA doesn't said group HAVE to return to work if a TA is reach with the company? I can't imagine where the RLA would have it written where a pilot group gets to go through the "normal'' steps of ratification, ie: road shows et al before returning back to work.

I'm not well versed in this part of collective bargaining, maybe you can shed some light on this.
