I think a 65% vote > mandate > industry resets the bar > no excuse for our union to fail to get in on this "once-in-a-liftetime opportunity", as they describe it.
I know we live in an era where personal accountability is not in vogue, but what excuses are they goung for NOW? Rogue NC? Moakies? Rogue John?
I DO agree with you that the company is also to blame for last year, and they DO need to step up this year.
I think most pilots in the middle part of the curve can see a deal between the last table positions, and we need to apply pressure on both parties to step up their efforts.
First one to reach the middle, wins the middle.
