You got a vote...do as you see fit. This one didn't cost us anything. It is hard for me to gather much indignation about LOA II when the weaker LOA I was voted for by 68% of the crew force. I am hearing a lot of spears thrown at Fred about LOA II. Dudes...the LOA is the reason Fred and I are here... If you think there is a lot of leverage to garner improvements, however, after you just signed off on the previous LOA by that kind of margin I think you are mistaken.

The excess bid, not the LOA, will probably be the main factor in more guys going to HKG voluntarily. I'm for anything that helps them out at all. This LOA II helps...a little. I'm not here to sell it to you however--make your own choices.
Any thoughts on what they are going to do with all the passover pay generated by a bad LOA (low seniority) and the current excesses happening? Right now I am beginning to think some of these junior guys getting HKG capt must have had a good crystal ball.
