So you going to withhold dues if it a yes? What are your actions if it is a no? Maybe dissolve ALPA? I am sorry you are so upset, life goes on. If the nos carry the day, part of me will be relieved that the company doesn't get 8 in 24 relief and we can have a real discussion on retirement.
I'm not upset, I don't plan on quiting ALPA, And even if I wanted to, which I don't, I can not withhold dues!
If this TA passes, I will collect my signing bonus, take my pay raise and in six years take my 30K! SLB won't be a factor because I don't plan on working that hard my last couple of years, although, I think we will all be working harder than we wish!
If the TA fails, I will do whatever is asked of me by the MEC!
Life goes on with a yes vote and the world does not implode with a no vote!
Although, with a yes vote 8 in 24 is gone forever and our retirement will continue to erode!

The no faction is starting to sound shrill. I've been reading all this the last few days and it occurred to me; why would the MEC vote unanimously to conclude negotiations and then immediately a very coordinated effort by 4 reps whipsaw and vociferously attack the TA before the road shows even started? I did some looking, and Capt. Teeter published an interesting opinion back in March about the ongoing struggle of a minority to gain control of FDX ALPA. Could it be all this caterwauling is more about the "inevitable reorg." and control Of the MEC than about the TA? 
Talk about a conspiracy theorist! Add stimulus, wait for response!

No conspiracy theorist.......after reviewing what I've seen go on this last week and reviewing Capt teeters publication the thought occurred. Do you have a thought about it or are you just throwing rocks at me?
