The 12 year cap only applies to pilots under 12 year longevity. What lifer that's topped out or almost topped out would vote no? They get to keep their top pay plus "better" job security. Surprisingly I know at least 2 topped out CAs that voted no. Good for them. And what junior FO that's looking at 6-7 year upgrade would vote no? You got guys making lateral movements chasing upgrades. Simple yes vote will improve your chances here. Screw other regionals if they're mad at us. That's their mind set. So that's potentially 30-40% of the pilot group that will be voting yes no matter how much we try to inform them why this TA is horrible for PSA and the rest of the industry.

Scream and yell all you want, but this was not an easy process for our guys and gals. Our private forum is temporary shutdown because we are still arguing amongst ourselves even though the ballot is closed and we've lowered the bar.
