Just look at the pilots of Comair, Frontier, and American - they voted for concessions to stay out of bankruptcy, and it worked out great!!!
Vote YES with confidence that nothing bad can happen.
Your YES vote means ALPA is takin' it back!
Do not take any paycuts voluntarily!!!! The BK judge will just be starting from a lower payscale when he makes his cuts.
Delta Pilots took a 32% paycut to keep us out of BK - guess what happened?
BK and another 14% cut.
You will or will not enter BK on reasons other than a paltry 5% cut. This is pure management BS.
Do not fall for this.
