If nothing else, can you imagine the ALPA "lawyers" when they realize they have a real Perry Mason on the MEC?
Hey guys, I appreciate the sentiments. That's a big compliment.

You guys know I'm already predisposed to buy the beer though, right?

Unbelievably the author didn't even realize that he was "agin" one of the few notable improvements to the TA.

But did any of the angry social media followers ever hold him or similar posters accountable? Of course not.
That's because nobody voted NO over reroute/mx pay.

The 'Big Four' sections were what got this shot down;

Sick Leave Verification, IOE Trip Pulls, JV/ RJ Scope and PAY!

The PAY was nowhere near enough to account for all the other concessions.

The sooner the MEC figures that out, the sooner we can focus on a new TA.

The company is making so much money they don't know where to hide it.

I have an idea, they can start by RESTORING OUR BANKRUPTCY CONCESSOIONS!

That had to make things easier for them. I started to feel a little sorry for the guys standing behind that table in JFK Ops.

... Just a little.
