I don't think it necessarily means anything in particular except that whatever potential outcome results will be voted on by the pilot group. Between nervous junior pilots, a few BLG hungry senior ones, and some ALPA mistrust, I do think many will interpret this message as you have trigg41. If you read it all the way through, I don't think that's what they're saying though. They seem to be hinting at a potentially giving up on waiting for 777 and 4.a.2.b arb.(among other things) in exchange for a reduced BLG compromise with a defined exit, job protections, and FDA enhancements. In fact the way I read it, is that on the eve of dirty excess practice bid numero uno that will fully illustrate how bad things are, they are trying to keep us from devolving into class warfare over these next few months.
