Has the BK judge ever rejected a mainline pilot contract?
Has an airline management ever faced an Airline like US Airways that will do everything in its power to take over, has an airline management ever been faced with such a senior pilot group who most have ties to the military (pensions) and are so close to retirement. Look at what happened last fall, the 777 operation took a severe hit that is being felt today. Management can't afford for this to drag on, US Airways can put a bid out starting in Sept and this will only put more pressure on AMR, there is a reason AMR now has 5.1 Billion dollars in the bank!
TO your answer for a no vote, have you looked at the code share and SCOPE, have you seen how the pay banding and current airframes vs future aircraft will affect their pay? The devil will be in the details but I will expect it to not be great and the membership to vote it down.
