I'm just getting the feeling that no matter how many improvements we get offered, a lot will turn it down just because.
Let's be clear here, it's NOT a "let's burn the place down" mentality. But management ALREADY said there's money to be saved when SOC happens. DON'T buy into the fear tactics that a if a JCBA gets voted down, the next day ASA files for BK, the next day the judge throws the contracts out, and the next day the company goes belly up.

Maybe not here in this thread, but it's been in other threads. It's also been on that "other board", as well our message board. Even by some that claim to be a part of the ASA MEC.

Actually, Jerry bought XJT. And reference the above as far as who thinks that. We welcome and value the input that the ASA pilots contribute on our message board. But sadly, that means we get to read the trash that some of them put on there also.

Agreed, but it's in EVERY pilot's best interest to educate themselves on what's going on. Don't always count on an NC to do it for you.
