If you get MD'd to the 717, you will still be paid more per hour than you would have had this TA been voted down.

Ask the NC that were in the lounges, we got way more in a lot of areas than the company thought they would give.

Not to sound petulant, but what else would you expect our NC to say?

The company wanted 88 seats badly, then they tried 82 seats in the current airframes all the way until the very last session.

The line is 76, I finally believe that is one etched in stone and not sand.

I want sunsets and/or shrinkage in DCI again in 2 years and 9 months when openers are swapped again, and will direct my MEC accordingly.

Hopefully you will flow soon and be part of the discussion when the time comes.

They also freely admitted the areas where they were unable to push the company to fully meet our desires.

Wish you would have taken time to go to a roadshow or happen across an NC member during the lounge visit days. I learned A LOT that I had no idea about.

The MEC elected the NC members TWICE, UNANIMOUSLY, both times; it leads me to believe that the four gentlemen were extremely capable and also possess integrity.

YMMV

As a second year guy, I would save that 1227, just saying.
