I too think the IPG has been naive in agreeing (the IPG doesn't get the rank and file pilots' input when developing proposals) to fly a heavier type for the same $. It has to be voted in for by the pilots yet and I hope that the majority have enough spine and defeat the proposal. Regrettably, as the majority are have previously bent over for Mr McG and taken it, they will probably accept the deal in fear of losing their jobs. AIPA should have let them join when QF grabbed them for a united force.
