How much money could be saved publishing that magazine on-line or at the very least making it optional.....or making it a separate charge for those that want a print copy mailed to them?
That's the kind of fat trimming I wanna see before I tell my status rep to vote for a dues increase or anything else that would take money out of my pay check. I know most (if not all) the voting reps from Pinnacle are probably voting "no" on this as well. It's actually a pretty heated argument over on the company board, and we're almost as unified on this one as we are against management on the contract.
So, yeah. If it went to a national vote of ALPA members, it would fail miserably and quickly. |
heated is an understatement sir...
