But, one logistical question.....how does anything get done? The lead time for a TA, a no vote and another TA has to be a long one

Seriously, I see what you're saying. Thanks

Management is the one in a hurry, thus we have considerable leverage. We wouldn't need a new poll because we already have one that the MEC refused to use. Mr. O'Moakalley even went so far as to say the pilots wishes as expressed in their survey is "out of context".

Acl has a pretty good list of fixes based on the unused survey that would get a YES vote. Sad truth is, it wouldn't take much of an improvement to get a YES. Thus the whole process could be finished in another 30 days. The only question is whether we'll take even the slightest of risks.

True dat! You can always tell who the new guys are.

"T-Bagz" would have us believe Amarone is a rare nectar only "special" people can find in Italy. Wrong.

Your local wine shop has it. A great bottle here is far cheaper than a middling bottle in Rome.
