I don't want to wait for everyone else. We can lead the way, let the other airlines sign contracts, and then negotiate from there. 20 percent upfront is significant. I will vote no to anything that outsources any flying.
I've said before that I expect an extension to be offered, but I have a hard time believing that it would be an offer of anything more than a small raise (10ish %) with no other changes to the contract. If 20 percent was offered, I think it would pass, despite my no vote.
