I just stated my opinion of the situation. You are free to attack my opinion, but attacking me is really off base. From what you have written, you appear to agree with my opinion on the situation, though.
Actually If we check the record you will find you are agreeing with my assessment as I said on day 1 this will pass. ALPA voting is family fued not jeopardy. The majority is right; while not necessarily being correct.
However if you are talking about your assessment of 4A2b being worse if this fails you are wrong. This TA preserves weak language that the company will exploit as they see fit. The 85% language and restriction on fleets basically falls into the parameters of how they utilized 4A2b last year. The only thing we give up by agreeing to this TA is a chance to use the leverage the MEC admits we have to fix 4A2b.
