To be clear, there are no talks to trade gateway for retirement! There is some talks to adjust the gateway, in terms of the backup flight requirements.
If anything is negotiated by the ExCo, that changes pay or QOL for the majority of the crewmembers, it will be voted on, plain and simple. Now, lets say the company comes to the union and offers something for nothing, then there is no need for a vote.
This rumor was started by a guy that was unhappy with some things that went on two weeks ago. He is putting a slate together to run against the current group. As I said earlier, campaigning BS! Nuff said, back to the hiring thread!

The union's position is that there are no contractual backup flight requirements. For them to fight the company's use of backups does not require an LOA/membership vote.

Why would we vote on something that is fixing a problem without any give back!??!! The company is tired of battles on every gateway arrangement, SO they're working on a win-win policy. Voting is not free. We elected these guys to represent us, let them!

Because they way I read the contract, it doesn't require a back up flight. If we are going to sign something saying we need a back up flight thsn that is a concession in most eyes. Am I interpreting this rumor wrong? I'm not in the know or the union like you guys obviously are.

On second thought, it doesn't affect you, so nevermind...I'll make a decision for myself.
