I'm only trying to find out why, if this contract is not that great for L-UAL pilots either, just accepting it and is the best way to move on and unify the pilots?

Wouldn't it also show pilot unity if there was a strong, firm NO vote? "Sorry, this contract is unacceptable and we deserve better as this pilot group has shown with their vote."

I keep hearing we need to come together now so we can be unified for the next time. The next time? How often do we keep hearing "well, we'll be unified and stronger NEXT time?" We've been hearing that at L-CAL for a long time for various reasons. When are pilots going to take a stand NOW?
