Most of us don't care about any of that. I leave it to the union and I am in contact with my reps all the time to express my concern. I certainly trust the LEC/MEC are not going to let a sub-standard contract get to the pilots to vote. They have backed up their words (CAL) since they were elected and have done nothing to prove otherwise.
I don't care about the timeline. I have my bottom line. If they can meet or beat my expectations by Oct, I vote yes. If not, I vote no. It is actually quite simple.
