BAD move, Block Reps!
Q: So the "leverage" for our NC to negotiate >wide body rate for the 777 comes from....? 
A: Obviously outside the union leadership ranks.
Was at a hub turn meeting a couple of months ago where I was "enlightened" by one of the briefers on the 777 training program he was currently attending. Choked a little before finally walking out. Guess I just don't get it. Still wonder what kind of "deal" those early 777 trainees were promised outside the CBA.
When the time comes, sign me up to run for Block 8
-------------------------------------------------
Just call me a 32%er, AND non-bidder for the 777

My question to you is: rather than just "choking a little before finally walking out", why didn't you voice your objections, right then and there, in front of your fellow hub-turners and g_d? By just walking out, you did nothing, either for your case, or for those who weren't there, who agree with your point of view. Being from the North East, I've always found that direct, respectful, confrontation is far and away better than just thinking "that guy is an A hole" and leaving it at that. As I've said before, if you don't spend the time to tell someone that he or she is wrong, and why, than you can't expect them to alter their behavior or point of view. Each of us is responsible for letting our elected officials know how we feel about a specific issue.

Interesting Day
First I wake up to find out that the Illinois Governor has been arrested for conspiracy,
Secondly, I hear Ted Turner (Founder of the renown CNN) interviewed and he said he was unaware that the Khymer Rouge butchered millions in Cambodia,
Now, I look at the practice bid and see that my Block Rep bid the 777.
My problem is that I can't figure out if any of this surprises me.
