You will be saddled with the pos Piedmont jet rates if they vote yes. Your urging them to do so is only going to hurt you in the long run.
Do your homework...
What makes you think a JCBA between Envoy and PDT would end up using the PDT LOA jet rates?
IIRC Pinnacoabla's JCBA ended up with much better rates than the bottom feeder Colgan had before the whole thing went bankrupt. Am I wrong in assuming the merged contracts are usually better for the lesser paid pilot group?
I understand by voting in this TA PDT would hurt the negotiations starting point on pay rates but I'm pretty sure we would end up with something better than the PDT LOA jet rates.
