Gunter, great question....a separate thread should be dedicated to this.

Why?

Because back in 2007 when many were upset with the inadequacies of FDA LOA v1.0 a long list of improvements were proposed by many people on this board.

And what transpired?

Many of those improvements were either given by the company right away (...additional weight allowances, housing depost $$, a promise not to use STVs, etc) and others were incorporated into FDA LOA v2.0.

...and now, even more FDA improvements (some very significant) have surfaced in this TA-bridge offer.

It's clearly evident the company could afford to increase housing allowances, provide some educational benefits, etc. (...more $$ is areas we were initially told is "that's the best they can do")

Now, many folks are suggesting for improvements to this TA bridge that have nothing to do with the FAA NPRM.

Accepted fares, training pay, etc...etc.

Once again --- its OK to communicate to the NC that we support them, but in this case they need to go back in and ask for a few more items on "our" list before we agree to the new FDA language.

This need not drag on for months and months or years and years ---- we are talking about the issues NOT associated with the FAA NPRM.

Perhaps that's what all this new Wilson polling is really about.

Discuss.
