OK, everyone brace yourself for more nutjob conspiracy theories to be posted here than you have ever seen before concentrated together in one internet bulletin board.

16-3 is a pretty good vote rate for this TA, are all the MEC members bought out by Insler?

The language in this TA specifically states if the company files bankruptcy, this LOA is cancelled and we go back to our current contract language, so whats this race about?

Not that I can see. That's a deal-breaker for me. Maybe the assumption is that we'll likely furlough in June and they'd be available then?

Obviously the lines are to be slimmer than usual, but that is going to be the case either way.

if you are senior in your BES and were not displaced, I could totally understand a NO vote… If you are in the top 2/3rds and got a displacement letter, I’m having a hard time seeing how this is a net negative in pay for (the proverbial) you.

Please tell me if I’ve got that wrong. I’m trying to understand the implications for the entire group

I’m willing to bet if this passes, the company will schedule block hours in the lowest area (40% or less)

The TA includes the oldmako paradox provision.

(Allows an early-out for you, if voted in)
I know its not 5 o'clock yet, but go ahead.

Looks like anyone can take a COLA with active benefits if it passes.

To what end? if they are offering this, vs a much cheaper alternative of furloughing thousands, why would they intentionally fly less than our competition?
