Your kidding right? This guy is the most arrogant person I've ever met. I think we need to keep the level headed SE in the MEC chair, just get some new blood on the NC. By the way, SE was not happy with this TA.
Trust me, I'm happy this TA got voted down, I for one was a swing voter, one day I would be voting YES, then other days I would be voting NO. I voted NO last night at about 10pm, I just couldn't sell half the pilot group out. Also, I truly believe management was just throwing a little money at us to see if we would bite. Now, just because it got voted down, I don't think we 9E pilots need to make any irrational dicisions i.e. voting in CS from DTW.
Some things that need to change to get me to vote Yes.
1.) Cola
2.) Min Pay Per Day
3.) Min 12 days off Line holders/Reserves
4.) Vaction Slide/Buffer days
5.) Better definations
I know that getting all these is a pipe dream and 9E management will never offer COLA, I'm willing to vote yes if I can just get 4 of the 5..
