Ha, can't argue with facts but you will sure try. You're doing great

No you can’t.

Another poster shared the savings from 200 less pilots required and the cost differential decreased quite a bit, but it’s still in our corner, quite significantly.

These no voters can’t be reasoned with. The rumors that were spread on here today is proof of that. They’ll come up with anything.

Someone today, on the live streamed ORD road show, expressed concern about all the concessions. The NC did an excellent job explaining the process and why they reached the agreement they did, especially when talking about what the company really wanted.

Could the deal be better? Of course it could be. We could get everything we wanted. Do we live in a perfect world? No.

While some no voters have truely legitimate reasons for voting no, the majority on here are living in a pipe dream. APC is a terrible venue to try and gauge actual sentiment. Always has been always will.

Go back and look at my original post when the TA was posted. I shared the same feelings as many on here. I’ve since taken the time to get educated. Will they do the same?

You might want to listen again... Not one rep has spoken on any video. That was art... He has been around longer than you and me both. He is a pompous ass, but he isn't dumb. Before you try and quote someone, he sure your speaking truth. I happen to agree with your thoughts, but they should be based on facts. If not, you lose credibility.

Are you saying the 14-1 number isn't true? It has been stated on both the road show video and the live stream today.

I’m confused too. Maybe the Alpa rep part? Art works for Alpa. Therefore he is an Alpa representative. Or, Alpa rep, for short.

Let's make this simple. Check the box that says I am in favor. Basically a yes vote.
