You guys are more insulated from the negative aspects of this contract proposal and just want to put a few more bucks in your pocket before you punch out. I don't entirely blame you but somebody needs to be a voice of reason for the guys on the bottom/ middle of the list and not buy every bit of hooiey being sold by guys like you for your own self interested reasons.
The SR guys want to protect and or rebuild their retirements because they lost them and do not have as much time remaining.
The JR guys want an upgrade so they can build their retirement/ make more money.
I understand both, especially the SR part because I have witnessed first hand the stresses that losing their retirement fund translates to. No body should sell anyone out but all I read on here is me me me in the form of the JR guys complaining that the SR guys will vote this in and screw them. Jack you are trying to convert everyone for your OWN self interested reasons. O and as Sailing said this is a JR pilots TA, the SR person I referred to is voting NO because it does nothing for them.
