You're reps threw away those sections which included the significant gains that you now seek. That work product, the result of over a year of bargaining, was thrownout for purely political reasons and you now have the balls to act as if the old MEC is somehow working against the group.

Simply put, this is revisionist history. The Company reneged on this offer. In fact, Jeff Carlson had promised pay in exchange for all the improvements ALPA made in that document, the biggest being pref-bidding. He was unable to make good on that promise and the agreement fell apart. That was roughly Feb 14th. 14 days later most of the former MEC, NC, and other positions voluntarily left, simultaneously, in advance of the new MEC Chairman without any urging of the new MEC. Political or not, them's the facts.
