Nice bit of chest thumpin Captscott, but it does matter. If we don't get a huge majority, we're sunk.
The torpedo hit the water the minute we decided to put it all on the line with a strike vote, our goal now should be to avoid the torpedo or have it hit the least vulnerable part of the ship.
When the MEC stops believing that all opposition is purely political and starts addressing the real concerns of the silent majority, then we WILL get a huge, overwhelming YES vote.
I'll help by getting out of this string to allow them to focus on building a credible threat instead of just building a facade.
Guy's use the truce wisely.
PS, "credible threat" means - a pilot group that shows unity of action and shows a large volunteer force of selfless pilots willing to make something happen. A large rally with a large attendence would be a good start.
PPS, "facade" means - a strong strike vote with no army marching behind it. An LEC meeting with 17 people there is NOT a good start. No, I wasn't there, I was on an overnight in NY.
