FL....there has been a lot of painting into corners in this process. Im trying to think of a more poorly executed process for a ta....but am drawing a blank.
The timeline compression, heavy handed and threatening communications, overt threats of dire economic predictions and contingent aircraft arrivals....
IDK about anyone else...but the entire flavor of this soup has "danger Will Robinson!!" alarms going off in my head.
From my read of the tea leaves...agendas outside of this ta...and probably not in our best, let alone self interest, were driving events.
What happens now is anyones guess.....but it should be interesting to watch.

Am I the only one to notice the new paradigm (thanks MD) with respect to airline pilots is social media? MD called it a very "vocal minority". When the rumors of the TA came out (and were dead on balls accurate) the DALPA regulars came on to mock "internet rumors".
The empirical data points to a fairly unified group against the current DALPA personalities. YMMV

The original "T Square" was last seen hitch-hiking to Oregon, never to be heard from again. The name is used as a friendly greeting... Sorta like "Kemo-Sabe."

From: Utah Chapter
Another 20% will vote "Yes" to anything put in front of them.
This is pretty typical for just about any election on any matter, and I'll bet it was pretty close to reality in this case.
The battle was with the middle 60%. And 75% of those voted no.
The 1980 and 2008 Presidential elections, both decided with only 60% margins among the center of the electorate, were called "landslides." Both of those were near 60% voter participation.
One promise that the MEC kept, even if unintentionally, is the "historic" moniker. This TA was historic in how badly it failed.
