The "new" ratification requirements on the second TA were met with the first rejection, so it was a shoo-in. This made ALPA national happy. In fact, they sent one of their reps to our roadshows for the first TA, touting it as the best thing since sliced bread thus solidifing their lack of concern for many of us.........and that was the FIRST piece of garbage.

DON'T make this same mistake. After you vote this down (hopefully)...........MAKE negotiation team changes as the original team who would agree to this has no credibility left and will be looked at by your management as manipulateable lackeys.

Best of luck.
