It’s a sleight of hand to say that the membership would benefit from a system bid now, especially when you then turn around and add more speculation from a block rep about what the company and ALPA would have done absent an agreement. All this back and forth and for what exactly? If I was a smarter man, I would ask with all these words why haven’t you asked me for my opinion of the decision to make this agreement? Alas, I am not and have thusly reached the finish line on this one.
To me the point is that the membership voted on and approved a contract, and now the MEC has decided that it is OK for the company not to uphold their end of the bargain.
