At the last EBA he brought to US at the FIRST meeting what the company offered and said "this is the best you can get I suggest you take it".
This is exactly the same style of advice that was given to the EAA pilot group on the last few EBAs. The pilot group chose to take further action last time around...
Is this what you pay your 1% for? The Pilot Councils do the majority of the work for very little in return (and are more effective than the AFAP has been). I would prefer to give my 1% to them!
Unions are just like any other service. If it doesn't perform to customer expectations, then the customer reserves the right to change service providers, or have none at all....It's called freedom of association.
And as has been previously mentioned - The only reason many members stay is for the MBF insurance.
Judging by the general feeling and overwhelmingly positive response to the proposal, even the MBF may not be enough to keep people in AFAP membership.
We have interesting times ahead
