I'm not really sure what your point is here. I fly for a ALPA carrier. While I'm disgusted that ALPA would even present this garbage TA for vote, it had nothing to do with SKYW unionizing.

#2 - if you are on a portion of the list not subject to immediate furlough, why would you vote to shut your company down sooner since you start over at year 1 pay.

I can honestly see why the top 400 would vote yes for this. That's it. The rest are taking it in the shorts. Whether you're currently a captain about to get displaced or a FO to get furloughed, why not vote NO? You are simply screwing yourself at your next job! Think long term rational. Not short term emotional.

Year 4 TA pay is about $37 I believe. Well, year one everywhere is $20, and reserve. So, get shafted with pay and schedule, or lose pay rate and make up for it by bidding 18 days off and picking up red flag trips?? Hm.. Not so easy is it?
