Putting it out for a vote would be a mistake, that **** would pass.
The TA passed with 57% because of the hard used-car salesman pitch from the NC. Of course, that inspired the koolaid drinkers like Kronan and the like, here and on JF. But still, without the directive from the NC at the Road Shows it would not have passed.
What I am saying is, our own NC could direct us to vote down this TA with the company's latest offer, to show just how low our company views us. This could be used as a means to return to the table as soon as possible, to open Scope and rescind QOL giveaways (if even half of the rumors are true). We have to do that this time around.
Voting a TA down is the only way (that I understand) in which we can open Scope. Yeah, yeah - we didn't poll highly on it. Doesn't matter, we pay FDX ALPA to be forward thinking in protecting our job, not to blame us for not doing their job on SECTION ONE of our CBA.
Let's not rush it this time, thinking we can negotiate Scope again in 5-8 years.
It sucks that we are here. But the Company has given us an out back to open TA'd and unopened sections, by not coming to the table with the payrates we have earned.
