You don't run into them in ANC or the Pacific, but they are a large number. They are the lemmings that I was referring to in my previous post. It is naive to think that everyone feels the same way that we do, or even has any knowledge of what has been going on during the past few years. I fly with and talk to guys all of the time who didn't even know that there was an LOA, much less what it smelled like. I have talked to bus guys who thought that the HKG domicile was a 757 domicile. I even ran into one guy at the grocery store in memphis last summer during the failed vacancy bid, who when I asked him how he was affected during the practice bid that came out the day prior, his answer was, What Excess bid? Just saying, it is no slam dunk.
Fedupbusdriver,

This was not directed at you but to the guys that never fly outside of the US telling us who do how to set up a FDA. I have read your posts and have likes most if not all you have written. As for the "Lemmings", I totally agree, I even told an FO that the LOA would pass because there are guys in MEM who will vote for it because it will "not effect them." In the end I was sadly right. As for our LEC voting for it, they are taking much heat for us for that and the age 60 rule, however, I think that they are listen now and will not do something like that again (I hope). Again Driver, this was not directed towards you.

BJ, thanks for correcting my english, what can I say, I was a math major.
