But you knew that.

As far as I can tell, their opener was in fact just a list of priorities developed from the input of the membership. Regular polling has continually updated the NC through the MEC of our evolving priorities. That’s in strong contrast to the UAL MEC, who didn’t poll, agreed to a TA that met almost no one’s needs, and had it rejected by 94% of voters.

Who knows, maybe the realist or even the optimist projection will prevail, win for all.
