The first thing that should happen is the MEC should be professional enough to understand they failed to involve the pilots during the process. Being in transmit only mode did not work well. So they start a new survey to learn what they missed.

Next we the membership decide who we want the represent us. Resignations may also happen. Either way, we the membership will put in place the team we want going forward.

Next, the NC will need new blood. Fair enough. I have no doubt there are several ready to serve.

Along with the survey, the pilots will want to know the value and costs of the "efficiency Gains" in TA 1.0.

Then our new team will refocus and reengage.


Some other things to think about, we are going into a presidential election cycle. What do markets do during those times? Also the inventories stored during Covid are starting to dwindle, orders are up. We are seeing more extra pairing to bring extra freight from Asia.


In short, Even if we go into 4.a.2.b or c, it won't be for long. The training cost associated with the last round brought us New Section 24 to mitigate the training costs, which will still be high.

Further, any pilot furloughed will be welcomed at all the majors.

In short, We have to look past the smokescreens. Our future is brighter if we stand together and demand professional treatment and fair compensation.

If we take this TA, how long does it take to get back the work rules we give up in the name of "productivity gains"? I for one don't wish to find out.
