17 year lurker here, 6 years at Alaska, 15 years in ALPA. This is my 1st post on APC.

I know from being through 3 other AIP's and votes on TA's at other ALPA properties which included post-bankruptcy concessions and/or reconciliations.... that we know very little until we hear the details from the NC and MEC. The synergies are in the details as every section that's been changed effects every other section.

The details reveal the extent to which the changes made will benefit or harm our quality of life.

We have so many years of sub-par quality at Alaska that, barring a total rewrite of the contract (ch. 11) or another merger, we cant, in my opinion, expect ALPA negotiators to correct it in one single agreement.

I also know that this was just released. Less than 24 hrs. ago. Most of what we post here before everyone has a chance to listen to the podcasts and read throug the TA and call our reps if we have questions, is 90% emotion.

We dont fly on 90% emotion. Why would we post or vote that way?

Entertainment methinks. Now, pardon me while I go listen to the podcasts and call my rep.
