It's the same management.

Even with DCI 450/325, that's a huge jump in ASMs.

I'm certainly NOT telling or even advising you to vote yes. I'm just splainin why I'm voting yes.

Damn Carl, You've been flying with the airlines since the 70's? I was still in high school. You must have gotten hired in your teens. No wonder your a 744 Captain. Good on ya.

Man I should have skipped the military and gone civilian. I'd be an A-380 Captain soon. We're getting those with this TA right? Oh, not A-380's, 380 more 76 seaters. I got it now.

You have ask yourself "why?".

Nu

Glad you were in on the negotiations, can you give us any more inside scoop ?

Finis;

With you I'm a-ok with agreeing to disagree.

Scambo, I am a-ok with it also, when people vote against the TA because they don't think it's good enough that's great, democracy in action. I do have a problem with agenda voters because a rejected TA does open up a window of opportunity for a group of wannabes.
