Lets hope that this merger will be handled like we actually are a true union...and not a spoiled brat, silver spoon, college boy tantrum...There are many long time union brothers at Virgin and in all likelyhood there MEC is a much stronger representative body than our own.....We have a huge hurdle ahead if we hope to ever have a contract that represents the value of our tradecraft......You can bet your last dollar that every single member of our current management from Brad down hopes we turn into a bunch of mewling selfish punks....more worried about paint jobs and upgrades and "career expectations".....and take our eye off the ball....our contract, due in 2018, is our last chance ever to get back what we gave, and elavate ourselves to the level we want and deserve
