Couple of things to think about:

how many times has a union messed up or flat out stolen from a retirement fund.

How many times have we been out lawyer-ed by the company in our contracts? The current lay flat seating issue comes to mind. No way ALPA can say they did not see that one coming as it was specifically asked during road shows and input was given to simply add a statement like. under no circumstances will it be less than first class etc. but no our Lawyers have vetted it and this will never be a problem. Just do a simple statistical look at the grievance record and then look at the supposed wins and ask yourself if they were really wins.

How about simply removing the 265ish limit on the Bfund and get cash over cap to full earnings etc. with a percentage increase "yes some tax implications but that can be factored in to the percentage increase etc"

I am glad we have a Union and support the effort and am a volunteer, I am not throwing stones just pointing out our past shortcomings. This comes to mind also "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
