Ah ok. I got you know. I totally agree with the question above. That is the main reason I can't hate on yes voters. Their reasons were legitimate, although I didn't share them.
When it came time to vote, 9E was hearing lots of shout outs from all these pilot groups who where loading up on rethoric about hanging in there, stay strong and basically asking 9E to fall on the sword on their behalf for the regional industry's sake, while they where just standing by the sidelines.
I never heard any other regional pilot group offer their share of their monthly salary before the vote, in case things didnt go we'll for 9E pilot group if that pos new contract was rejected.
This is how the industry rolls at the moment, and this has caused a self-serving agenda on pilots out there. I can't place blame.
