And as you can see everyone can find a way to pick at every type of A plan. Guess what? We have problems the rest of the industry would love to have with this debate. The way I see it is this:

1.) We asked our union to do work on investigating how we could make improvements to our A plan.

2.) They hired numerous outside consultants/professionals and spent tons of money researching this subject, as we asked them to do.

3.) They boiled it down to a few options and picked the best for what they thought suited our income and career.

4.) We all have the same amount of votes (1)

5.) We all have the ability to read/listen to the material and be involved. Its apparent some look at it and some don't. Either way its your dues money so might as well do your best to be educated.

6.) If you are unable to look at something new then you are not adaptable. In the business world if your not adaptable you go out of business. Look at our business for example. We are “All in on E commerce” according to Fred last earning call. This is an adaptation from last year when the brass was beating the “we are a B to B company” drum. They adapted because thats what the market required. Because they adapted FedEx won in these current markets. Now lets see if our pilots will adapt to changing markets.
