T,
What I am saying is that my vote will be determined by my perceived value of the contract, and that I will not be swayed if the Union says the world will end if we don't vote yes. If I don't perceive the contract of being worthwhile I will "risk" the consequences of a no vote.If I like the contract I vote yes, and the whole "risk" of a no vote is moot.
And for the record, I did not say we had to risk something, but that we must we "willing to risk" there is a difference.
Look, I am not into chest pounding - I voted yes on C2012 because I thought it was pretty good deal considering the dismal negotiating environment we were in. By this I specifically mean the crappy contracts at UAL, AMR, and USAIR at the time. I have also voted no before.
Contract wise USAIR is gone and UAL and AMR are in much better shape and DAL is firing on all cylinders - I think we can do a lot better this time.
Scoop
I'm both a company guy and an ALPA guy. I love my job and I support my union. I choose to participate in the process. That means I fly as professionally and safely as I can...it also means that I loyally support our union and fight for what's best for me and my family. Delta has been good to me in my recent short term disability. ALPA has also been equally accommodating and supportive. There have been some hiccups but I'm really proud to represent both.
I understand why people don't like the survey, but if you don't fill it out, you're ****ing in the wind and others decide for you.

It doesn't have a restaurant but a breakfast bar in the morning. The Four Points has a restaurant next door for night. I hope that helps.

How so? From the FMCSA website:
The Hours of Service rule for truck drivers contains an 11-hour daily driving limit and 14-hour work day limit.
The new provisions that took effect in July 2013:
