Why wouldn't the STFD crowd vote yes, get their bonus money and then resign the next day? This would burn the company more than just voting no now Also, the LTLOA are a great deal too, keep one foot in the door while you seek other employment and get three months pay and health benefits..
I partly agree with this but when/how does the bonus get paid out? I don't think you could leave on the 16th and get the pay out. Is there anything in writing stating that Delta will shut us down? People keep saying that, it could just be the Union/company spreading fear to get this thing to pass. I don't think anyone knows for sure what will happened if this is voted down. Even if they did shut us down it might not be for years. We will not shut down over night and when we do shut down it too will most likely come with a deal to keep pilots around to the end. Voting this down is not the end of the world.
Agreed. It would cost $29,000 and a lot of time to train 1440 go jet new hires if they give them the 200's. we will be flying them and giving them away slowly as some other regional builds staffing to accommodate them.
