The fact is that most pilots expected something better than LOA 19 rates when in fact the union (from the get go) stated that LOA 19's purpose was to get the JPWA gains for the DAL pilots up front. It basically was the JPWA terms for just the DAL guys. FWIW the MEC's story has not changed.
Now with the JPWA's vote closing in less than five days people feel that it should have been more. I think we need to realize what the true purpose of this agreement is. It is not a Section 6 negotiated contract. It is an interim deal. Vote it down and there are a lot of things that may or may not occur.
It is a dangerous game to play. Fact is that we have about 18 months to make it right before we would start to feel the real effects of a NO vote.
