The "real issue" is the fact that most of us at Colgan really do care about the future of the company and our own livelyhood as well. A pay raise is well down the list... the issue is primarily about obtaining work rules and quality of life, as well as the legal representation aspect. ALPA has proven through many examples its value to our industry time and time again.

You must understand supposedly having worked for Colgan that the company will amend policy on a regular basis to suit its needs. ALPA is not a quick fix or end-all, but it's certainly superior to what currently exists.

I'm not posting to convince you of this since you've made up your mind on the issue; nor have you convinced me that I made a mistake by voting "yes".
