Gunter,

Take a look at the "non-scientific"poll on here. The 179 "NO" votes you see will be about all of them, at best double. The remainder of our pilots understand the importance of and the benefits of this TA for us and, (GASP) the Company. Thankfully the majority understand the reality of this TA and can deal with the limited scope. Take a look at the majority of the negative comments that ooze from this board and you will find that its the same people ALL THE TIME. They love the sidelines and throwing stones. It's just a lot easier and more provocative to set an argumentative tone. That sells much better to the few that take this road and is usually an oversimplified view of the issues, such as the importance of our companies international growth when compared to SIBA v.s. FDA or latching on to minor deficiencies in our contract like accepted fares.

I appreciate the work that has happened to present us with this TA and the ongoing effort to educate all our pilots to the details that went into the process.

-Just my opinion, and you know what they say about opinions!
