The reason people are bothered, is because it isn't just about you. The industry is at an unprecedented turning point that it hasn't seen in years. Pilots need to be pulling together to leverage the potential gains industry wide, while you're saying "just vote yes on whatever comes across the table, so I can stay put where I am".
I can understand that logic coming from someone in their late 50s, with 30+ years invested in their job. It may be counter to the goals of the majority, but I understand.
But for such a sentiment to come from someone with 30 years left in their career is beyond mind-boggling. You're getting so much push back from everyone, because your attitude is throwing everyone else under the bus for the sake of you having a little comfort.
The pilot group voted down the last deal despite me, they'll do the same if we get another attempt at a deal, don't worry about that. You'll always have kids dreaming to fly 737's etc. and wanting to go to a legacy, my one vote isn't going to matter at all.
