So 'just really that dense' is your answer...got it.

Ignored? No.
Read what you had to say ("Nothing to see here, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!") and not convinced? Yep.

Which part of we've lost faith in BOTH "sides" of this union do you not get? 5 years of negotiating with this company who 'values our contributions', gives 'thanks for saving the world', gives 'thanks for all you do', etc. while expecting us to work at a 30%+ discount, abusing the outdated RLA, and cooking the books to force 4A2B/C while drafting/extending/revising without constraint. A TA so lacking even a busted union (loose collection of ICs) voted it down fairly decisively. At least 3 coups or regime changes in the MEC/NC. All while our real enemy barely disguises it's derision at our disfunction.

So I'll repeat, this time without the name calling that seems to offend you:
What you and others really don't seem to get is that the more you deflect and tell us the names don't matter, the less trust we have in the system. Which is too bad, because FWIW I like the FACT team idea, and like the presumably-unbiased and lack of used-car-salesman sales-pitches format.
