Agree that Paul's response to all was accidental, but even if WM did reply all, it would be blocked.

Disclaimer: I am pro-union and pro-pilot (but was anti TA 1.0)
Most of the major negative things that are occurring now are due to things I warned of with TA 1.0 (weak language, lack of staffing language). We knew they were going to change the pairing construction yet a large majority voted in favor of a TA with weak pairing language. Granted, the company played too much hardball in negotiations but we ultimately had the final say. I'm all for rallying the troops and using sentiment to your advantage to put pressure on the company but some of the guys picking up RSA are just trying to make the best of a contract that fell short of their expectations and they voted against.
Also, as a side note, why wasn't there more of a push to get rid of RSA's with the contract if it's a negative thing when guys do them? We know that there's always going to be someone doing them. There was even guys high up in ALPA doing RSA's during negotiations so.....

It only takes 5-10% to help the company out.... and last few big IROPs they have had the chiefs going out with extra emails to help the operation out... that tells me it is getting harder and harder for the company to get the help they need... New BOS LECs e-mail yesterday said it best.... “doing so, we believe we should all know our contract and then professionally and safely fly that contract—nothing more, nothing less.” Pretty soon the helpers won’t be able to help as they will time out... we had RSAs most days in February.... February.... I can’t wait for the summer, hang on boys and girls it’s going to be a wild ride!
