Your second point is not accurate....In Dec of 08 the Alaska mec and nc sent out a 30 plus page document to explain why the companies "last, best offer" was completely off the mark and why they could easily afford the associations "last, best offer".....in april of 09, 78% of the pilots voted yes on a TA that was well below the companies last best offer of Dec 08......fact
