If we don't have any leverage why does AAG keep coming back. They come back because pilots and mechanics are a valuable resource. If they lose even 30% to other careers by getting out of flying all together then there will be no one to fly their shiny airplanes. This vote is not about the next 12-24 months. AAG wants a deal now before they get in a real bad position in 2018 when legacy retirements really ramp up. If we are all supposed to flow to AA quick why are they so stuck on 12/4. Maybe they are hoping mainline caves and they can keep ordering 76 seaters over the current cap. Then 70% of domestic lift is e175s and then unless you start your career in your twenties you'll never see a good mainline schedule

The bonus is a joke. Look at what e-dvr is paying just for people to stay. Ca should have been above 30k No increase in flow for years so all the bad right away and none of the good for years. If you are in the 824 why would you even consider voting yes. You won't be here long enough to fly the e175 as the top 400 will bid it and even if you can, what do you get paid. Oh yeah E145 pay!!!! Because as the cr7 leave guess what happens to the # of CA in that top pay brackett. And they will leave faster that we get 175 especially with a 4-5 month head start.
Delta is increasing hiring to 115/month in 2015 so why get hired here at the bottom of 2200 pilots if only 20/month get to go. There is nothing in TA about a true up penalty for not keeping 50% ratio so why would they flow more than 20.

Big F..King NO vote. Just like the last 2, 3, or was it 4, NO crap I forget how many times they keep coming back
