The survey we were given didn’t say do we want to give concessions: yes or no? It was about how we want to get screwed.
Ok dude, watching this on the sidelines, I think a lot of you that are angry with the MEC are missing the big picture. Do you really think the MEC wants to voluntarily shred up the CBA they fought for? Doing this survey and negotiating with the company shows the court that the union is trying to negotiate in good faith. The survey they sent you is asking how you want the concessions divided up, no? If you don't like the options presented, and the subsequent agreement they come to, you and every other pilot can vote NO. That would be your way of telling the company to pound sand. I don't know what you're trying to accomplish, but having an option in the survey to tell the company to get bent and not even engage with management won't get you anywhere with the judge. You can still all collectively tell the company to F off, but the visceral response of smashing the 'no concessions' button on a survey isn't going to be helpful to the cause.
