OK, the past trend, what is that? The UPA, the last round of furloughs, the latest round of flexibility provided to the company?

Do you think that there’s something ALPA can do to prevent furloughs in the Fall?

I’m sure that what you have to say is important, but’s it’s just not clear what that is. I’m not trying to be snarky or an English major, but I read that first message 3 times and still don’t fully understand what your feedback to the LEC was. If you’re asking for unity on a direction, throw your union brothers a bone and be clear about what that is.

ALPA threw the company a bone and provided some voluntary methods to reduce payroll. I’m not convinced that they’re 100% behind the new programs but it’s up to the company to sell it.

Beyond that, I’d be very very critical of an MEC that makes too much of an effort to put our collective heads on the chopping block.

So with that, what IS your proposal?
