I absolutely agree with both of you guys.
I was painting with a very broad brush. There are 10,000 individual stories in this pilot group.
I think we've hit on 2 of the biggest categories of yes voters though.
There are the comfortable guys who live modestly and are content with what they have and there are the over-extended guys whose lives would be destroyed by a 14 day strike.
ALPA owns those guys. They will vote yes to whatever is put in front of them. We need to somehow convince them that they deserve more and they can get more.
