In all seriousness, I have seen MEC's recommend a TA for vote and then regretted by the pilot group for voting it in. So yes. MEC's are not always right in what they think. They can be wrong. I think your MEC is wrong this time. That is why some TA's get voted down, new members get elected, new TA's get negotiated, then passed when the pilot group thinks they have a fair deal. I think this is the best time ever to get a TA, and another year is worth the wait. Take it to a strike again if you have too to get what you want including the additional retro.

I know it’s hard, but try and listen to the experts.

Profit predictions are done as a pre-tax margin, therefore the tax reform doesn’t change anything. If you listen to Q&A’s or attend a roadshow, you would know why the tax reform argument doesn’t work. Spirit basically pays zero cash tax, due to growth and aircraft deliveries.

To say they know best because they know all the numbers and have been around a long time is foolish. I think this is the best time ever to get a TA, and another year is worth the wait.
