A couple of things....

Those who bid the FDA did so knowing that they were getting LOA #1 without any "enhancements". I dont feel that I am taking anything away from them.

I voted no on the first LOA. The second LOA is the same to me....unacceptable with MORE givebacks.

On a different note, what is with the BS language in the LOA 2?

Example...
From the MEC letter- "This LOA memorializes improvements..."

Well, the definition of memorialize is "to commemorate". What the heck are we commemorating here?? BS smoke and mirror language, period.

From the new LOA- "C Federal Tax Equalization Services
Pilots accepting permanent vacancies in CDG or HKG are both entitled and required to use the tax equalization procedures and tax return filing services (US and foreign) offered by the Company through its vendor.

More smoke and mirror language. When you are entitled to something, you can voluntarily accept or deny the entitlement. But wait....it is required to accept the Tax Equalization! Double BS!

These are just a couple of examples of the language that is used to mislead and distort the reality of what is really being said. Pure lawyer mumbo jumbo.
