Or when you have to figure out how to pay your bills when you have to start over at a new company. I've voted against paycuts that management was claiming would save the company before, only to have it liquidate months later. Trust me it isn't a walk in the park as some would like to think it is.

As I have said before. I understand and respect why some vote no. I also understand why some are not interested in the possibility of going through the hell of a bankruptcy and possible liquidation. It is a tough decision either way. To demean anyone as "gutless" or a "coward" for voting yes is as ridiculous as criticizing those who vote no when you consider the implications of this decision.

I understand your sentiments but....are you implying even in the slightest that your pilot pay at any airline was even a sliver of a reason the airline liquidated? Your pay was to high to keep the airline in business and if you would work for cheaper it would still be in business?????
