That's what I mean. It will be my problem if you guys start having unrealistic demands and drag this out longer than it has to just because you want to burn the place down. Of course getting what you lost back is not unrealistic and I don't expect you to want anything less. I'm just getting the feeling that no matter how many improvements we get offered, a lot will turn it down just because.
I don't know where your getting this notion that we (ASA pilots) want to keep our current work rules and that we want to force them on you. Your work rules are better and I would like to adopt them, as would many of my co-workers. And we did buy you. So what? No one thinks that we are better than you or that you don't have the right to fight for what you want in the new contract. I think many of us are concerned about what I said above. Wanting to burn the place down and drag this thing out and make this process miserable for everyone. Maybe that's what your picking up on. And before you say, I'm not saying we should just bend over and take it. We deserve a good contract that is good and an improvement for everyone. Anything less I will vote no. When I like what I see I will vote yes. Until then I will vote no. You have the right to do the same. Like I said before, chill out and wait and see what our MEC's come up with.
