This Speaks volumes about you NO voters who now are flipping off your Representatives!!
This will get voted in because the vast majority of pilots are educated enough to know that we dont have anymore negotiating power with the economy the way it is, even YOUR MEC knows it. They have all the FACTs you DONT.

Better yet, how is one to plan and prepare for the future with that kind of a match. My last regional airline put in 6%... This must be a f joke.
Probably for the same reason NWA pilots keep their generous sick-leave bank and DAL pilots work under an 80hr limit each year.
It's for the sake of moving the merger forward.
or 
depending..........
