I continue to firmly believe that our Union leadership sold us a bill of goods on the Age 65 Legislation being a "slam dunk" and that the train was "leaving the station" and we needed to get on it or we couldn't help steer. As I have repeatedly said; this legislation is small potatoes to Congress. If it doesn't have significant social or financial implications to our nation or doesn't help get them re-elected, they won't waste one ounce of political capital on legislation that is pushed by and appeases a very small group of aging whining airline pilots.
Our union reps need to be held accountable for this debacle. The junior block reps should resign immediately simply because they abandoned their constituents in order to align themselves with DW and the senior cadre he continuously represents and patronizes. Odd....that train whistle leaving the station just may have been the rallying cry for the membership to wake up and ask our reps to explain their unwillingness to represent their constituency as the formal polling indicated the "overwhelming majority" wanted to be represented.
