I can't talk sense to someone who refuses to understand the topic. Google "1113C", airline bankruptcy procedures, go over the facts of the 9E bankruptcy then come back and answer you own question...."Wouldn't you rather have it imposed rather than 85% say yes?"
If you don't get how airline bankruptcy procedures work and how it affects pilot contracts and the power a judge has then you can't argue this point. A pilot contract is thrown out the window and the judge can, and does, impose a contract that is sufficient to help the company come out of bankruptcy. He can take away everything from min day, reduce per diem, drastically reduce hour wages, get rid of medical benefits, kill 401K programs, throw out leg-by-leg pay protection pay, etc. The list goes on forever. And that's what was going to happen at 9E without the pilot ratification of a concessionary contract. That's why each and every pilot group that has gone through bankruptcy has ended up with a concessionary contact.

I think SKW came out on top here and good for them for not taking any concessions in this current environment. They keep the bar raised, it needs to go higher, but they're not pulling a PSA on anyone. Next up is XJT and Eagle. They should be getting raises across the board just like SKW did due to the record profits at Delta and major turn around at AA.
