You're 100% correct. That was indeed our worst case scenario. But that's not what our "tireless" MEC admins were out saying during the road shows. Remember the talk of: "NO votes will likely cause management to disengage with us completely...and we just know that any subsequent offers will be MUCH worse than this one". What about: "This is a time sensitive deal. We can't divulge their plans, but it requires this deal to be done quickly." And so on, and so on.

Our MEC administrators purposely created worst case scenarios that were untrue. That's why the really bad actors are mostly gone now. But that's just putting a band aid on the problem. We line pilots simply have to do a better job of calibrating our Bull Sh!t guages. Regardless of who comprises our MEC administrators.

If your interests happen to coincide with theirs, then that's simply icing on the cake. A happy coincidence. Their prime directive is the fullfillment of their goals and their sustainment as an entity. Nothing else matters.

I saw the printed words on a license plate in DC today - "Taxation Without Representation". And I thought, huh.... ALPA. Hmmmm...

We as a pilot group seem to be paralyzed by a fear of the unknown and those wedded to the status quo who play to those fears.

Anybody else see all the contradictions in this post, or is it just me?

Is there one that says;

"I'm Daddy's little squirt" ?

It only takes once! :D

Or how about one that says;

"I guess Mommy DOESN'T know her cycle!" :eek:

That's how I got our 4th little gift.

We have a friend that has 8 children. Most intentional. One of the times it wasn't intentional it was because they double bagged it. The Doctor said that's the worst idea possible because of the friction.
