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.
Are you really willing to give up two more years JUST for money. We have a LOT of things that we've already been waiting to be fixed. Only money is not enough for my vote - we need work rule improvements (why do we watch CQ and only get 1 min of pay for 3 min of work, how can we spend 4 hours in the sim working our butts off and only get 3:15 of pay, and a bunch more). We shouldn't wait two more years JUST for pay - let's not get bought off again.
