Mega,
My point was not to say that every Jr person would be going to the Intl side as a result of this contract (possibly getting passed), What I mean was that just because you fill a seat now (Dom), doesnt mean that you may not choose to go to another seat (Intl) in say 2 years. ALL the rules apply, not just the ones that fit to your present seat.
I have read the TA, gone to two road shows and watched the CD that they have sent me. On the surface, this TA seems to have alot of good stuff in it, It troubles me why there is something inside of me telling me that this TA is not right or the best we can do for our group. (my sixth sense) I am sure you will do what you have to do. I know you and respect your professionalism. That being said, before you vote, do yourself a favor and try to forget about the hype and hoopla surrounding what the IPA has put out concerning this TA. Be open minded and go to TORO's site here is the link. http://ipaontop.org/ He has no axe to grind, hes not running for office, he is simply stating the facts as he sees them and trying to educate the pilot group about what is on the other side of trhe coin before you make your vote.. He is a very useful and knowledagble source as well as the people that worked with him. The Union/Company has only told you about the glass being half full, I think you should also think about the half that is not full...
I asked the NC specific questions relating to the "ambigious language" in this TA and I got reponses to those questions at the road shows only to find out that they gave me half truth answers. Some of what they said was true but more of the Neg details that related to my questions were left out. The parts that were left out were the things that effected the pilot group in a negitive way. Its that kind of stuff that worries me about what they are leaving out or not talking about.
Get educated, and tell you friends to do the same...
