That's pretty much what I was thinking, simple majority gets it out of a unit, simple majority gets it out of the Region, and on it's way to the Delegates. Then the Delegates need to pass by 2/3rds to make the constitutional change.

It's important for those in the IBT looking for a solution, that they understand this attempt faired far WORSE than the all or nothing attempt of '07. The South Florida attempt WAS the grandfathered motion that most thought the membership might be more receptive to.

What I think this turns out to be is a slamming of the door by the membership, that they've had enough of IBT proposed motorhome amendments (which BOTH the '07 & '08 attempts were) to toss away our single brand identity. I think at this point the membership needs to HEAR from IBT members that this issue is DEAD -- that they not only heard from the membership in '07, but that very same result was shouted out even louder in '08. That the only way motorhomes should come to the forefront again is if and when Airstream ever starts making them again.

My thoughts are that Airstream doesn't need to learn that lesson twice, that they'd be crazy to try and compete in the Class A market again. The one thing Airstream should take away from the WBCCI, and the IBT meddling with this issue, is that the Mid-Winter crowd of '07 were elated that they could buy a BETTER quality Four Winds, with about a $50K savings over an equivalent Airstream Class A. That elation should seal the lid on the possibility of Jackson Center every re-entering that market. There's simply better product elsewhere, which confirms Airstreams decision to withdraw from the market.
