like it or not the majority voted yes
And by what percentage was it voted yes by? 2% from memory? or was it 4%

Your arguments do not make any sense.. you're trying to steamroll a turd in the hope it might not be recognisable..

I'm sorry but there's a huge difference in saying "this is the best you're going to get" to "ok the negotiations have stalled, we're not happy with the outcome but it's up to you to vote. If your vote sends a clear message to the company then we will go back to the negotiating table with some ammunition"... I think that's what most pilots were hoping to see, and that is why the EBA was only voted up by 2% or whatever it was.. Fear tactics from the company that we would not get the EMB flying if we did not vote it in were supported by the AFAP!.. who the hell else was going to fly the EMB Jets!?

It's obvious you're an AFAP supporter to the bitter end.. you're even coming up with excuses for them despite glaringly obvious shortcomings displayed in the past. All I can say is that I wish you all the best!
