Well meaning guys and gals have trouble accepting the union is not what they fundamentally believe it is. It's refreshing to see an awakening taking place, seemingly en masse. What the company is doing is not surprising and, frankly, should be expected. What the union IS NOT doing should be shocking to everyone. Some might even call it "unconscionable."
Sorry to ride your coat tails, Merle... but the point you, hemaybedid, and so many others are making is paramount IMHO. Voting down TA1 as a huge first step and I commend this pilot group for that action... but the real battle lies ahead. Anyway, had to jump on the bandwagon and yes, here's to winning this thing!
