Anyone see the Bruce York video yet? Now I don't know if we're playing baseball or basketball. Either way, there's no " hard sell" going on here is there

Same song, different verse.

Interestingly, Mr. York refers to this as a "contract extension."

Nothing new to change my views. Seems to be more generalizations and analogies than hard facts or addressing any negatives that I hold on the whole deal. I wish they would gather the concerns from the angry 20 on APC and make a vid for us!

I never heard of Bruce York, so I did a search. Some things dont seem to flattering.

Wish they went this overboard with 4a2b.....

You know, for just 'voting to send it to the pilot group for us to decide', they sure are taking the YES VOTE side....

NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!

HEY ALPA, we can do better!!!!!

Wonder why it took so long to start with the hard sell. Hey Alpa whens "this is the best we can do", coming?? Still a big NO vote from me! Who's making the, 3% I can wait stickers?

This group is beginning to lose credibility with this hard sell. New regime, same old story, so disappointing and so sad.

This guy is our clean up hitter, since he failed to explain this, allow me: In baseball, the cleanup hitter is the hitter who bats fourth in the lineup. Although the third man up is generally the hitter with the highest batting average, cleanup hitters often have the most power on the team and are typically the team's best power hitter; their job is to "clean up the bases", hence the name. He is the one to get a grand slam, which is incredibly rare, but you at least need a guy that has the power to try, the swagger to say, yeah, i am that good, not one that goes to bat knowing that a base hit is good enough these days, at the same time giving his lucky bat away to the visiting team.

In my opinion, he needs to return to the minors or go to a different spot in the lineup. He is our power hitter, congrats to all Fed EX ALPA dues paying members, as they say in Vegas, the fix is in.

And remember, some are so disenchanted with ALPA/Age60/contracts, whatever, that they may not even vote, please do not do this, if you are that apathetic, you effectively give more favor to the yes vote, just vote no if you are apathetic to this process or do not care.

I find the TA to be ok but not worth a yes vote, I will gamble and wait until next year or whenever, 3% is not enough to bring on the benefits of the FDA. I am a gambler though and 3% is not a lot to put in the pot to wait for the turn and river cards. The price of this game of cards is too much to not play it out at least.

I do find all of this incredibly entertaining though, an amazing hard sell. I am waiting for strippers to deliver my contract in the mail to help "explain" it to me . Now that is worth my 2% dues. My wife would be very entertained as she explains to me; well, with those strippers, you are no longer at least as good as you where before you gave all your leverage away by letting those strippers in the house and voting yes. That is really going to cost me, on second thought, ok, no strippers at my house.
