I wouldn't say self respect, but more of a "We've seen this movie before" with pay cuts and flow throughs, and won't buy it. I may be wrong - maybe the same people who voted for a pay cut will remain scared, because "I've gotta have a job, and I've gotta fly airplanes".

Me personally, my givea****-o-meter is pegged at zero. I used to pride myself in on time departures and going above and beyond, but not with this company. Working with idiot gate agents, rampers, dispatchers and schedulers as well as fighting to get pay restored just takes a toll on you.

As for the OP question, what I read in the email was that the XJT MEC is debating bringing in ASA for discussions with the new rates. Not so much as a whipsaw, but ASA reps are getting labeled as unprofessional.
