Part of me doubts the MEC went into negotiations last week and said "We'd like to start this off by insisting that you give FOs their ATP" and Bendo said "OK, will next month be soon enough?"
Not a 100% sure but I think there is a FAA mandate behind the type req. for FO's.
On another note - your dues $ is what we pay the MEC/ALPA to represent our interests, not this Merger Fund $.
It's time to have the $ returned....
