We are showing them that if you make it bad at our current airline we will move to the one that looks better. (Normally means growing) Everyone says well I want to get off the sinking ship that is just as harmful if not more than voting in a bad contract.
I am only an FO in his 4th year, but this logic is another part of the reason I've held on. After being proverbially beaten and beaten some more my resolve is waning. But maybe I won't need Compass or PSA as an opportunity with Allegiant just popped up. At least they do their own flying and not this contract nonsense!
