Look folks, we'll know around Noon on the 20th, and it will be the first time the MEC (both the 10 and the 4), the Officers, the lawyers, or the NC knows how it is going. And then the current disunity will continue.
It's not often we get e-mails from the union of Sunday -- I guess they thought it was important to hear this right away.

Insider trading is punishable by significant jail time also but that didn't hinder many. Somebody somewhere knows the running tally, We're all human and everybody has a secret they are dying to tell someone. Human nature. I would like to think our votes are sealed like Ed McMahon used to tell Carnac the Magnificent, "I hold in my hand the envelopes. As a child of four can plainly see, these envelopes have been hermetically sealed. They've been kept in a #2 mayonnaise jar on Funk and Wagnalls' back porch since noon today.." Somebody knows and how good are they at keeping a secret? This isn't the presidential election.

I live in the real world and expect the MEC and/or NC has a pretty good idea where and how this thing is going down - law or no law.
I wouldn't call the Department of Justice if the MEC handed me a roster and asked me to call everyone with their vote information. You are a certified idiot for suggesting such a thing. PS - I don't call the FAA when I see another crew member violate a FAR either. You are one messed up anonymous poster.

Maybe they read your posts on here hammering them for rounding errors and they just thought they'd try to get in front of the TonyC math express.

Now, you may be asking why I would point out such a tiny error, and what difference does it make, anyway? Good question. It's not the few letters here or there on the post that matters. It's the lack of attention to detail and perhaps a deficit of grammatical acumen that matters.
Remember, this is the same guy who made a big deal over a trailing one versus a zero. Wow, you're right, you can't afford to trust anybody with such poor attention to detail.

It must have been a slow Sunday on Kirby Pkwy.
