orangetree - I have to disagree with you. I have now looked at this quite carefully and I believe that the union guys have really done their homework correctly. This is overall a good deal and a significant improvement on our terrms and conditions. Once again I come back to my question previously - are you currently at LTN or EDI and have you actually worked this roster pattern? All the feedback I am getting is that while not being perfect (and what is?), this is a significant improvement on 6/3. The guys who are actually flying it are broadly speaking in favour of it.
I have also spoken to the union and management guys who are doing the tour of the bases and they have done good work on this in my judgement. I am not in BALPA and therefore will not be able to vote, but were I in the union I would be voting for it.
