Why is stating facts fear mongering? This agreement is flawed. This agreement has give backs in a time where we should be giving nothing back. Defend yourself sir. Why is this such a great deal? When did an interest in making sure we get the best deal or at least a good deal become fear mongering? I would rather have no deal than a bad deal and this is a bad deal!

I don't agree with BF most of the time for any number of reasons. My mindset has always be simple: BE PREPARED. The union mindset has NEVER looked ahead and planned for WHAT IF'S????

They are always blind sided by the Company and last minute offers without having ALREADY WEIGHED POSSIBLE OPTIONS! What can we work with the Company in the future and what do we have now? Wheres the improvement and wheres the trade off?

This is something that fails union mentality. Plus we're so fractionalized its hard to point where to start.

My point too... some can point at what company has done (8%, PS, etc...) and argue they are striving for “culture change” and such. I can point out contract breaches, in-implemented items, “IT issues” etc showing exact opposite.

It comes down to trust and I just don’t have it.

To each his own, but after much waffling back and forth, personally I’d like to see this get tossed back.

I know most of arguments against the deal are FUD but not one yes voter can show me how they are assured it will be implemented. And that’s my real problem with this. If it was 100% gonna be implemented, I think they would tie it to DOTC/RAS or have a real penalty. Without it, you just have to trust them.

Just my opinion

Aren't you <30? You of all people should want to stop giving concessions to the company with such a long career ahead of you.

At some point we have to break the cycle of weakness and actually be a union.

No one's on the courthouse steps. There's no reason to give the company anything.

Attachment 3 is evidence of this. How can you trust a company that just admitted they're going to do whatever they want anyway?

We need to take get rid of the "fly it and grieve it" and just stop flying contract violations.

Not sure what my age has to do with it. But yea I’ve got a long time left here.

I’d rather negotiate to fix these scheduling issues when section 6 comes than try and negotiate LOS/ACD.

Just wondering, could you or some others who want a yes vote present more specific arguments for why you think the no voters are wrong? I admit I'm an outsider looking in (will flow to AA soon) but this will affect me eventually. The post with the MIA email includes what look to me like some great reasons to oppose this. It would be helpful to hear actual, specific counterpoints.

Haha. Good luck!!! Once you give away scheduling “issues” you ain’t getting them back!!
