Oh-oh...Oil Prices Fall

I'm really not angry or emotional about this. I just think we're giving away more than we're getting. And, I've tried to explain why I think that. Most of your arguments seem to be based on fear and "trust the NC", they have all the info. I heard all of those during the last FDA-LOA roadshows. They have been proven WRONG. If you're an insider...Then tell us what our ALPA cost-benefit analysis determined the worth of the FDAs to be. It has to be more than a per diem bump. Or, a 4A2b fix that would still allow 777 lines to be built to 90 hrs and A300/727 lines to be built to 50. Really?

And by the way, to all the folks stating that the MEC has all the info and they approved of this TA 10-2. That's not entirely true. From my block rep's Email: "My reason for voting to pass this on to the membership came simply down to the fact that you pay thousands of dollars in dues for the right to vote on these matters and my rejecting it would deprive you of that right. My decision was based on whether it is worthy of your consideration. I believe it is. That being said, I do not plan to recommend either way how you should vote."

His letter went on to list the good, the bad and the uncertain. Not exactly the "slam dunk" that some here are espousing. Other reps? I don't know.

My point is, the MEC did not vote 10-2, ratifying this T/A. They voted 10-2, to send it to the membership to ratify, with our votes. I vote NO.
