I would never vote for something out of fear. Both the union leadership and management are not providing a full complete picture. I am a 90% no vote, just want to see the final language before becoming a 100% no. The pilot group is worth more than what our union leadership recognizes, and what our management is willing to admit. The vast majority of pilots that I speak to are no votes. Speaking with the DFW LEC FO rep yesterday, he provided logical argument against this TA. I have a lot of time invested with Eagle, and I do not believe we will lose any more flying than what the company has already decided to farm out. Eagle is still on track to hire 600 in 2012.
There are 7 ALPA regional carriers in contract negotiations, and Republic is also in negotiation. Realize there are other guys out there going through similar experience. We have an obligation to ourselves, families and our other "brothers" not fold under this minute pressure. Just my 2 cents.
