I think you guys are missing the point if you're making this about me.
I voted yes to the BK TA because the threat of imposed work rules and no contract was real. It is a simple matter for a BK judge to vaporize our contract. It was the lesser of two evils.
Now we are out of BK and the only way we are giving concessions is if WE choose to do it. Therefore I am a no voter in this situation.
My choice to leave Eagle was very tough. As a 16 year check airman I have a pretty great deal going. I won't make the same money until I upgrade at AA. I would have stayed if Eagle had AAG not chosen this course.
The point is that we finally have the leverage to say no and make it stick. I thought I would share what I learned in Washington to show the side of things that management doesn't want you to see.
My hope is that we call their bluff and we get some substantial improvements - something we can vote yes to.
