I had 777A LCA in my jumpseat a couple of days ago talking about a meeting with RA. The pilot contract wasn't even an afterthought in RA's mind in the meeting, with all of the other grand plans he has on deck now & in the future. Honestly if RA didn't give a hoot about this labor force then he wouldn't have expended so much effort in this "7-month-early-50-seat-trade-for-76-seats-coupled-with-a-717-incentive-and-promise-of-hiring.". I expect the last thing we'll hear about prior to the vote closing out is a new widebody order 'pending approval of the new pilot TA'.

I am a junior dude and will feel the impact either way, as I do in every single AE.

Oh, and I think Carl is at the top of the food chain...his ride is bigger!
