The committee, is chaired by Dan and Eve. That's why they sign it. While line pilots, this isn't their first rodeo and Eve is far more qualified to be there than the average line pilot because of her previous career. You seem to make the assumption that it's just a couple line pilots sitting there. You're wrong. Various committees were consulted, explained their stances and a number of attorneys and experts from other airlines were consulted as well. Had you and others taken a little more interest in happenings there, you would have had a TA long ago. Nobody wanted to run for the eboard, and this is what you ended up with.

For someone who no longer works there, I seem to have a better pulse on the situation than you do.

The LBFO from February 2013 had higher pay rates than this TA. How in the world does that happen?

This really makes no sense. What does it matter if I were to break it down in bullet points? I can only cast one vote(and that vote is yes). As far as me "owing" anything to the pilot group: the way I see it is that this pilot group(or at least the idiots who voted for the assessment) owe me the money that I have had to cough up for their stupidity.

I would love....LOVE to see you break down each section of that craptastic TA and explain why you think each bullet point warrants a yes vote. No seriously, I DARE you!
