If you were so convinced that the arbitrators would pay heedance to the Tenet of longevity and give your your rightful place post SLI regardless of the l-cal upgrades, why the votes out of fear? ....CRICKETS....
(Thanks mako for the spellcheck)
Actually, I was just a few numbers away from upgrade as a LCAL pilot and now I'm a couple of thousand. Had we voted no on the UPA I would probably be sitting in the left seat of a 737. However, I voted yes because the whipsaw was in full swing. Yeah I would have benefitted this time around probably not so much the next time. Not to mention that the "chest thumpers" on the CAL side who had the "balls" to vote no on the contract were also sitting there cutting deals left and right, taking it down to single digit days off, and covering for management every time the summer season reared its ugly head. Jeff thanks you! But hey, you showed him with a no vote (golf clap)
