People didn't vote for this because of the bridge, they voted for it because they wanted to keep their jobs. Also, if you re-read the last sentence you just posted, Delta can hire 1/3 of the required Pinnacle pilots outside of the bridge (and these can be FOs). An FO has a much better chance of being hired from Pinnacle than from any other company, how are FO's at any other companies going to get hired at Delta?
Where did I say I'm proving I made the right decision? I'm pointing out lies that were spread to dupe you into voting yes. The only way a 9E FO will get hired at Delta is if he/she upgrades at 9E and goes through the SSP program. It seems from the posters above who went to WIA, Captain Arnie has already made it clear at the WIA conference that anyone at 9E will have to go through the SSP and wait their turn. No cutting any lines. As for the FOs, the response is still "you have a bridge program" which means no FO will be hired outside the SSP agreement.
And 9E would have been around regardless of voting yes. If Delta wanted 9E gone, it would be gone regardless of what concessions were voted in or not. You said you wanted to keep your job, at what point what you say a paycut is too much that you wouldn't do your job? How about 30/hr for a RJ CA and $20/hr for RJ FO? Would that still be worth "saving" and having a job? To be honest, a topped out 37/hr FO job isn't worth saving, not when you can make the same (or greater) at other regionals like SkyWest.
