That is an indisputable statement simply because it’s fact based. It doesn’t matter if Jim Johnson, the President of the USA, or the Pope say otherwise. It doesn’t make facts untrue.
If youre so confident in your indisputible statements that are "fact based" then why not go out and poll the mainline pilots as to what they want. Are you afraid of what the majority of mainline dues paying members might say?
I base my analysis on 30 years in the business. Jim Johnson's legal opinion should matter. it's fact based and he's a lead ALPA attorney. If you're trying to monopolize what truth is, what facts are, and what words like indisputable are I'd say you're arguments are thin. Just ask the pilots what they feel. We take so many silly polls on things we can't effect.
