This. It's hard to keep score if you don't know the game.
I am withholding all my conclusions about the AIP until I actually get to read it (radical concept) but I do know that I am both skeptical of any fast-paced changes to the UPA conducted under a deadline while simultaneously preferring a 13,000 pilot group to a 9,000 pilot group in the event of a merger.
Fingers crossed that the AIP threads the needle, and if not, then it's a NO vote.
