Like I said, I have no vote in this thing. I was a Yes vote at NK, so not a hardcore NO guy. Before NK I worked for a very at will company that went bust just around the time the union got voted in. I have friends and family who commute, I have commuted for the last two decades, so maybe I'm biased. I do believe half of the jb pilots commute, so I think calling this a non impact item is a bit short sighted.

For such a commuter heavy airline and with such a low value TA for monetary items, I would have thought the NC would have demanded, and the company would have agreed to a much better commuter policy, and done away with the dependability nonsense. Nothing surprises me here anymore though.

Thanks for the pat on the back Dog. Its not so much that I love the TA, I just like to separate emotion from fact and get all perspectives.

The NO guys have some valid points that I hope they ask the NC/MEC, but when the ad hominem attacks, that have come from mostly the NO voters continue, this becomes more fun.
How bout this Dog, since you are completely "objective":rolleyes:
List your yays and nays without characterizing others' positions or using conjecture and accusation. If you want, pm me, but few have the stones for that right Doggy?
Peace

If you are looking for clarification on a section then the road shows are a must. Aside from that the NC or MEC wont be able to provide pilots the answers they are looking for.

Thats what I meant ben. I should have clarified.

No, you just claim the high ground all the time. It's your marketing strategy to attempt to give your viewpoint legitimacy. If you're not emotional, why would you need to block people who disagree with you? You couldn't win with logic or reason, you couldn't win by personal attacks, so you block people now. Personally, I like it better this way because I can talk through you, but it shows who you really are.

The Railway Labor Act Simplified

This communique is for entertainment purposes only. It does not implicitly or explicitly acknowledge employment with any air carrier nor is any relationship implied. This communique does not represent the opinions or policies of ALPA or JB ALPA and does not represent the collective pilot group, ALPA, nor does it imply collective bargaining, advocacy, or workforce actions intended to disrupt operations.

But be aware that the roadshow nor any promises from people giving speeches will change the legal language. If you graduated high school, you have all the tools you need to read the language. The words matter. If it's not written precisely, then it doesn't exist. Remember that BJ pushes everything to the legal limit. TA 1.0 contains many legal loopholes that I guarantee you will be exploited. Look at the way it legitimizes the Dependability Policy.. it's worse WITH the TA than without it because it now becomes contractual.
