So then you are happy with the direction the airline has been heading over the past 4 years? What exactly is "fair?" Who decides fair? Fair to who? So you voted to authorize a strike but then don't really want to? Did you think the MEC was kidding? If negotiations turn in a favor after this vote then clearly Ed realizes we very well could strike. If he truly believed we would never strike then why change the play after 4 years of dragging feet?
