The two paragraphs titled "Those Affected by the Lower PRAP Cap are Overstated" in that rebuttal letter were written the way it was to make the memebership look at the cap as if they are all 59.5 years or older. That section of the letter is misleading you on purpose. They say "overstated" while purposely understating. Only folks over 59.5 can move their MBCBP to the PRAP, so a PRAP cap doesn't affect them as much. And they want you to believe it doesn't affect those under 59.5 (80%+ of our pilot group).
This LOA creates a divide. Have and have nots......again. The letter is attempting to mislead our pilot group. When this LOA was written they could have pretty acurately predicted what the vote would be based on memebrship demographics. They knew they'd have to divert your focus away from the cap in order to have a chance to get this thing passed.
