All I see is a self-flagellating exercise with a lot of noise and no achievable result.
You need to read what the resolution entails.(There are a few out there) It is only, as Bar put it, "resolving to study, research, and report back." We are not demanding anything. We want this issue looked at and studied before we go off and separate CPZ from our MEC. It would create another OH. We really do not want that do we? The MEC is able to table this if they so choose, we are aware of that.
There is a benefit to giving them a vote on the MEC, and or stapling them. They are already in seniority order, and more importantly we recapture some of the flying we gave up. We also could recapture the E-series type since it is not flown by another ALPA DCI carrier. Ergo it does not go against the Ford-Cooksey settlement with ALPA national. There are some real merits to it.
As I said, we, Bar and I, are for the ALPA process, we just want to make sure that this issue is thoroughly looked at before we go and make a decision.
