What's the Latest at ASA/Expressjet?

Dear fellow pilots:
Today, after a thorough review and discussion of the tentative agreement, the ASA and XJT MECs passed separate resolutions to send this tentative agreement out to the pilot group for a ratification vote. The two MECs also reviewed a comprehensive communications plan to ensure that each pilot has the opportunity to review the agreement and ask questions. This includes pilot roadshows in each domicile, all-pilot conference calls, crew room visits, and a dedicated public website.
The next step is for the Joint Negotiating Committee to prepare contract materials, including a summary of the agreement and other educational materials to accompany the full text language. The majority of this process will be completed within the next week.
We understand that there will be a lot of questions about this tentative agreement, and we are sure you are eager to see the contract. We ask for your continued patience as the materials are finalized. It has been a long three-and-a-half years of negotiations. We look forward to providing you with this agreement in full so you can make an informed decision when the time comes to cast your ballot.

So much for standing up for our pilots, reps. Knowing small examples of the backwards steps being taken by our "super regional" with this TA is enough for me to say "absolutely not."

Does anyone remember the last time a pilot contract was voted down after the MEC's passed to the pilot group?
I've been around since 98 and I cant seen to remember one.

Should be interesting... I wonder why our union leaders, both legacy E and A, would push this through if it was so bad... I guess we better listen up over the next month or so. Remember, what ever we get, we will end up working for the 8-10 years with.
