LOA Headed Toward Defeat
I'm really getting the feeling that this LOA is going to be defeated. I have met only one pilot in the last week who is voting for it. All the crew bus informal polls and folks I've flown with are adamently saying, NO!

Wrong Crew Bus?
Sniz, I'm not so sure. I have met three individuals who VOTED yes on this topic. I asked their rational and received the following:
1. The Junior person at a company always has a terrible schedule, terrible lines, etc if he wants to be here, then he will make the sacrafice for a FDX Seniority number.
2. The Union is for it
3. I'm going to hold wide-body on the next bid and it doesn't affect me
There are many others not involved with "malcontents.com" (thanks Albie) who do not hold the opinions of those on this board.

There are a lot of guys out there that when asked by someone that they feel has one answer, will answer in the same way to avoid conflict. ie
How are you going to vote for this POS LOA?
Make sure that you are not leading them with the way the question is worded. You might get some different answers.

I originally wanted it to pass, and I wanted to/considered bidding CDG, but sanity is sinking in.
If it's voted down, I won't be able to afford it. If it's voted in, I won't be able to afford it either.
It would be great to get 'boots on the ground', but at what expense?
The argument that rings truest to me is that I shouldn't have to subsidize the company's business. An acceptable package is THE COST OF DOING BUSINESS.
(BTW, I voted NO!)

I have run into a few guys this week voting YES...the only thing I can make of why is the "Yes Sir, Yes Sir...three bags full" mentality. These guys might also think that OR's job title is 'Skipper' or 'Squadron Commander'.
