I'm not sure where you sit on the seniority list, but the majority of your guys *SHOULD* care what happens to other regionals as a result of this vote because Pinnacle pilots will make up the majority of any new hire classes at other regionals. And they'll have to live with the severe consequences of their Pinnacle TA yes vote at their next regional job.
This is what our FOs don't get. I have FOs telling me "well getting our contract sliced and diced and having a job is better then no job".
Ok there is going to be very very little hiring this year, and as its starting to look maybe not a whole lot next year.
Your saving your job for a year and then your getting laid off.
For some reason our FOs think this is going to save their job, guys its just delaying your job loss that's all.
Unless you go to another regional in the next year to year and a half your gone and will no longer be current.
We also have a fair amount of FOs that seem to think within the next year or so they're gonna get hired at a major, because this hiring boom is gonna be so massive.
For 99% of our FOs if you want to keep flying its going to be at another regional.
