"The new phone books are here...The new phone books are here!"
Note: nothing personal intended there columbia, I just had visions of that when I read the post. Especially the "breaking" aspect.

Too bad our MEC didn't put that disclaimer at the bottom of every piece of propaganda we were fed during the TA discussion. WARNING: Anything we regurgitate to you here is almost word for word what we were told by management to get you to vote YES, but you should realize they'll lie to you if given the chance and you're an idiot if you don't realize that.

Jack,
I'm an optimistic person. Maybe that will change with time. IDK. Sometimes the pessimism on this thread consumes me, & my natural defense is to debate the pessimism with the glass is half full approach. I don't believe that this TA will have the negative effect you think it will. In 2-3 years, we should know which one of us is correct.
Whether you believe it or not, I voted AGAINST the TA. But that is really irrellevant, because 62% of our pilot group disagreed with me and the TA is now our contract. Will complaining about it on this thread change that? No. It's over, & we need to move on.

I didn't ask you to call them suckers. I asked if you felt they should have allowed their vote to be swayed by his statement. Let's be honest, SD did not have to mention the possibility of hiring. I never have, nor will defend his statement. He(they) may have been attempting to sway voters. But is this not the typical political games we play? How many times will we let Lucy yank the ball mid kick before we stop attempting the kick? So either we base our vote on the TA alone, or we continue to fall prey to politics. At some point, the blame lies on us too.
That said, SD's words may have gained that extra 12% to put the contract over the top. That said, at some point you just have to stop believing anything coming from management. It is what it is.
