Yes, XJT voted no, and that is commendable to say the least. My opinion is that Eagle, PSA, and probably very soon Piedmont are in a worse position due to being wholly owned. The threat of a shutdown is a little more empty when it comes to XJT.
Asking another pilot group to "fall on their sword" without giving them an "out" is just as selfish as voting yes.

You need to make decisions for yourself, stand up on your own 2 feet and make your own path. Asking for a safety net like that from another carrier is absurd.
Each carrier is different. You need to decide for yourself what you believe would/could happen depending on how the vote goes. They may have the plan to wind you down in the next x number of years no matter now you vote. So you can stay with your current QOL or take x % cuts and still not know the future. There are numerous possibilities that could happen.
