I personally know commitee chairs who are excited to work with BT and know that BT has their back. The simple policy of meet with the company once to settle an issue, and if there is any stalling, involve a third party (FAA or NMB) has our people psyched.
BT had my vote before, and he will receive it again.
Now you FQSs, your usefulness to UPS is going to dry up. It's nor BT and the IPA saying so in the letter, it's UPS in their objection to the NPRM (which should not have been admitted past the deadline). Publicly, UPS is calling FQSs "fill in pilots", hmm seems to solve that craft and class issue. But if your administrative duties prohibit you from having proper rest for MEF, they have no use for you. This is now a matter of public record.
So FQSs, the ball is in your court.
"Will You Join Us?"
There is no way that ANY FQS would trust anything to BT now that he has either lied or "Mis-calculated". An error of this magnitude can be explained but not ignored. He may get attention but certainly not the attention that a Professional pilots union should. IMHO his time is up and he should resign and allow a true man of integrity to take the reigns. It would be better for all of us, line pilot and FQS!
