While I support our MEC, I think I'm going to vote NO on this one. From what I can see, this gives away ALL the leverage we have with the company. If we give them the FDA's [which I agree with], we will have nothing to bargain with the company. Why would they start to bargain with us for a new contract a year or two years from now? Listen folks: The people that our ALPA unit are up against are professional labor LAWYERS. These people DON'T CARE! They will do what they have to do to reduce our wages down to the minimum legal wage. They will have you flying 22 days per month for $70,000 per year as a 777 captain! That's what the company wants. The company considers us the same as the RJ Captains that fly in and out of Memphis.

We cannot allow this to happen. Union member or not, we need to come together; our salaries depend upon our solidarity.
