If you had the choice:

A) Keep your job a little while longer to build up your flight time, get your ATP to make yourself more marketable and all the other perks in the TA plus $2000 for 0-1st year longevity, save the aircraft we have left from going to S5 and Gojets which lowers the bar even more for your next negotiations.

OR

B) Become unemployed


What would you personally choose? And yes this is a direct question for you to answer, a simple A or B will suffice.

And while were at it, I will repost the other two questions I posed to another member here.

1) If you were making $75K to $120k per year, would you be so eager to give that up for the sake of the industry and the good of other pilots? Just curious, an honest yes or no answer please with an explanation if you dont mind. Thanks

2) Also, in all sincerity, could you explain how it will benefit the industry when our airplanes go to a carrier that will fly them for less than we can, even with our concessionary TA? Keep in mind that three other carriers have already bid for our flying in the event the TA doesnt pass and they are cheaper than us with our TA.



Instead of incendiary remarks like yours, and others, why dont you try to come up with a solution and share that with us? These kind of remarks do nothing to sway my vote. Its comments like these that will keep us segregated forever and further the divide that exists. Perhaps that is what you want? I know that is what mainline/management does to whipsaw us and here you are doing the same thing.

The only reason I can see that non-9E NoVoters have, to pursue the negativity, is that it threatens your career because 9E will still be in competition with you and you will not have all of our planes. You see a weak carrier (9E) getting bent over with this TA and instead of trying to help us get through it you only hold the door open to the slaughter house for us. The lack of unity we share as regional pilots is our downfall.



You ask for me to hold the line for you and the best you can come up with is telling me that I am accepting bribe money.
