I couldn't agree more!
I sincerely hope we are not going to have a repeat of the 2004 fiasco in mainline. Nothing short of the full 2006 pay claim will be acceptable in my opinion, it is not unreasonable and sees us back on parity within the industry.
I'm sure we'll all vote against it this time around until we get what is fair.
