Y? Because everyone is scared that the future of 50 seaters is bleak.
They voted because less pay is better than no pay.
Personally I'd rather say up yours. But people voted yes because they were afraid of the unknown consequences. I'd rather take the risk. They wouldn't.
I'd lose $500,000 in my career. The seniors would lose 1% for 5 years. That's all. I don't blame them for voting yes. I blame the f/o's who think this will get them the left seat faster. Very shirt sighted
