Just curious; have you ever seen your personal opinions validated by the pilot group in a vote? I can't remember a membership ratification vote where your plea for "vote no" was held by anywhere near a majority of your fellow pilots.
I think you were even among the 12% that voted no to the unilateral pay increases in 2003/04. Is that correct?
Any way you slice it, CDOs lower our level of safety. Why would we make concessions?
Let's poll the pilots separately on CDOs and publish the results.
We both know that will never happen. This question in the survey is all the insiders need to get the company what they desire. They know the pilots will vote yes after the threats and outlandish projections.
I flew CDOs many times as a young man and always was less than 100%.
Underestimating the pilots this time around will be a game changing mistake.
