Maybe previous MECs had the opportunity to minimize furloughs but recognized the can of worms. The MEC should just stay in their lane. If you think the affect of this LOA will be gone in June you are crazy. I am sure aspects of this will be brought up in section 6 negotiations or the next time THE COMPANY wants to furlough. Will we go through this again? Can the company just threaten a furlough so ALPA can remedy a solution? It's a slippery slope.
As a yes voter, this was a big concern of mine. In the end, I chose to vote yes after a lot of thought on the matter.

Don't get me started on the raw greed surrounding the bond distribution - it was epic.
