Wrong.
A no vote sends a the message that the negotiating committee and the MEC do not know the minds of the pilot group, and therefore have no place negotiating a contract in the first place. Whether this is true or whether this due to a failure of communication won't matter.
For any meaningful neg to go forward would probably require an new neg committee and possibly MEC...tick..tock..tick...tock no leverage just wasted time, and time is money.
I know many of the righteous and angry folk on here will jump on the first line as being exactly the message they want. Still doesn't make it a smart or prudent choice. Putting your mad before money.
