My point is that if this goes to a bankruptcy situation, it is not going to be the walk in the park that some of these no cheerleaders like Shyguy think its going to be. For that reason, I have been pointing out why I think some will vote for the cuts in the end, and why it shouldn't be held against them. Likewise, I understand why many will vote no, and that should not be held against them either. This will be a difficult decision for everyone, and each should vote their conscience (if it comes to that).
I never said it would be a walk in the park. I'm simply pointing out at historical examples and stating that NEVER in history has a regional airline (or even mainline?) taken a certain select percentage paycut figure and successfully stayed out of bankruptcy. I say again, the 5% WAGE CONCESSION WILL NOT SAVE THIS COMPANY'S FINANCIAL SITUATION. The 5% will NOT fix the loss of money from the Saabs and Qs. The 5% will NOT fix the massive retraining costs. You are an idiot if you think your 5% paycut will ACTUALLY KEEP THIS COMPANY OUT OF BANKRUPTCY! That's why I'm saying VOTE NO!
In every single case I can think of where pilots voted in paycuts to "help" the airline, they all declared bankruptcy a short time later to a few years later, WHILE still operating under those cut wages! LEARN FROM HISTORY!
