What you should have done was find folks who wanted to go to one the new FDAs and asked them how they were voting. All I have met voted NO and are p@ssed it passed. They aren't going now.

If you weren't going to bid an FDA you could have "given" your vote to someone who genuinely wanted to go. Instead of throwing your hands up and voting yes becuase you failed to do any research. There was no way the company could have sent folks to the FDAs without more money than we get stateside or in SFS and we barely got any. A better LOA could have been attained.

If you are still thinking foreign pilots could have gotten the the work, I don't know what to say. It's obvious that couldn't have happend despite DW's fear mongering that it was possible.


Back to topic--

I don't fly DPs either. To support the SIG and improve our schedules. Not just becuase the union says so, but for a reason that was properly explained to me.
