Also don't be surprised at the outcome. I remember at 9E I thought a contract would never pass but it did as I was walking out the door. On the line "everyone" said they were a no vote.

What ever happened to "Ill pay you this to come work for me. If you don't like it leave." In the corporate world I sure don't blame XYZ's flight department for my agreement with my boss. But in 121 its other airlines fault. I remember 9E guys were mad at mesaba guys for a bit. Actually I think it was the other way around. Maybe I am to simple of a guy.
