Ratification of this Tentative Agreement recognizes that under the cruel realities of bankruptcy, the lesser of two evils is to ensure that we shape the concessions forced upon us rather than allow mistrusted management to seek rejection of our Contract and impose concessions in the way that they see fit. However, in no way is this ratification for additional sacrifices an endorsement of United Airlines management. We will continue to challenge and expose shortsighted decisions and executive greed at every opportunity.
We demand that current management develop an exit strategy from bankruptcy that does not destroy the hard-earned pensions promised to us for retirement security – that would be one sacrifice too many. Indeed, this narrow vote is saying to management that Flight Attendants have sacrificed enough and we will not allow this management to extract any more. At the same time, management must seriously address the quality of work life issues important to us, with all the dedication and commitment that Flight Attendants have put into saving our airline. It's vital that they work closely with us, understanding our problems, if United Airlines is to emerge from bankruptcy with the kind of future we know it can have.
-- MEC President Greg Davidowitch
