Minority Opinion

Where is it? It made sense that he would need time to get back to Subic, and compose his briefing, but there seems to have been plenty of time by now.

I wonder if he is having problems getting it through the MEC editing department?

Hold your horses fellows, we just had a meeting in Subic on Sunday. It should be out with 48 hours. It has to go through the ALPA chop chain.

I'm with Ed! If he says it's a bad deal ... guess what? it's a bad deal!

That's the problem with you RT, you never think for yourself! Read the damn LOA and then make an informed decision.

I think everyone that reads it should think is a bad deal. Inadequate housing allowance, no tuition assistance, vague wording on two hour plus ground transportation on the really safe Chinese highway system(at night), nothing about health care, 500 lbs of household goods shipped. No stated amount of househhold goods that the company will store for you. No family paid travel to the States for two years and then in coach. Need I go on.

OK big informed man. Ed was there with mgmt looking all this over. He knows it better than anyone that will read it. It effects his life more than anyone I know, so I know he wants it to be right or at least fair. The rest of the MEC and union guys that wrote it ... well, they wrote for someone else not themselves. Ed actually has a dog in the fight the rest don't. So, I'm with him on this one.

Go eat some German food and enjoy your 4 days in FRA.
