How many of the "yes" votes would push for action that would accelerate the process before the NPRM is settled out if we vote against this deal? I am not saying that is right, or that I agree with that sentiment. I am just stating the reality of our situation, expanding on 4a2b's statement. This board is not reflective of the majority.
The reality is that 4A2b will never be fixed unless we take a stand. Letting it slide just this once is not taking a stand, especially since all of the give backs in this TA are ours. No where in the Terms of Service does it say that this board is reflective of the majority. Everyone here will readily admit that a 3% raise and a 1% signing bonus has 40% of the pilot group drooling and this TA will probably pass. But it obviously makes you feel superior by continuing to post that the minority is represented here so wipe the drool off your keyboard and go ahead.
