Side letters and rumors don't have to come before voting starts. We've seen the STV changes and such while voting is taking place. They will happen if the company gets a sense it will not pass.
I've always wondered if anyone gets to see the vote as it's being taken. Not who voted which way, but just whether or not the union can see the trend while voting is underway. This question has been asked before over the years and never answered one way or another.
Votes are not tallied until the voting period ends. There's an entire certification and validation process and certainly the company won't have access to any of it. The "side letter" regarding the 6 week bid periods didn't come from the company. It came from our NC explaining that the company had agreed to not implement the 6 week bid periods without consulting the union. That's kind of a no brainer given that the company doesn't want the 6 week bid periods at all.Originally Posted by Raptor
Remember you can change your vote! How many times were we told that during the FDA LOAs?!Side letters and rumors don't have to come before voting starts. We've seen the STV changes and such while voting is taking place. They will happen if the company gets a sense it will not pass.

To this point, I don't believe the company has made any statement regarding the TA, other than to post a link to it on PFC at the request of the NC.
My opinion...the company is thoroughly enjoying the circular firing squad that has formed over this TA. The less stability there is in our MEC and pilot group, the better it is for them and their negotiators. When your opponent is attacking itself, you sit back, shut up and enjoy the show.
