Honestly most of this wouldn't affect all of us that much if our existence wasn't being threatened and we weren't constantly hearing one side of the story.
The exco is composed of pilots just like you and me. They aren't management stooges or super senior guys looking to, "get theirs." Their job is to negotiate with the company and get back to us. If we like what they come up with then we vote yes. If you talk to one of them in person I guarantee that you'll come away much more informed then you will reading the qx facebook page or this site.
