Sad, just sad.
You want to blame the UAL side for the contract because of money. Way off point and lack of understanding of what was going on. The CAL side thought by putting the contract out for vote, as written, would fail. This would have given the CAL side time for a bigger grab of Captain seats that belong to UAL pilots. The "YES" vote started time clock for of SLI start and stopped the seat grab and other things from impacting the UAL side. The contract is a POS but as a betting man, I'd bet that half of the "YES" voters were CAL pilots tired of the dealings of their MEC.
