And for every one of them you describe, there were 20 guys not doing that. Will we ever have 100% unity? No. What mattered is that we had enough to influence negotiations, as we did. How many flights were cancelled on the MD alone? We are still undermanned a whole year later. TA #2 would've been out before Peak, or it likely would've been the ugliest Peak the company has ever seen.
Anyway, I'm sure people are tired of re-reading this same re-thread. Back on topic to the videos of how we can further negotiate away our retirement under the win/win scenario the company will offer us.
