Clearly you are a junior, single FO with nothing to lose. Right now that is an enviable position, but that definitely does not apply to the upper half of the seniority list who has something to lose.
The regional airline industry is in for a real shakeup, and there will be survivors and there will be the "comair's".
Career wise for everyone on the seniority list it would be best to be in the 'survivor' category. Unless you are super junior and go to TransStates as a CA qualified FO flying the same aircraft you did today, possibly forever,only now it is undercutting your comrades back at Envoy..,, or super senior about to flow and don't have a problem throwing the lit match in the gasoline and thrill at the pain of everyone left behind as it burns down. The rest of us are just screwed...
Please. Stand up for yourself. Everyone knew exactly what they were doing and the consequences the first and second time it was voted down. Hop on over to TSA and be a Captain, you can be in class next week.
I just don't get how Envoy can vote it down twice and then all of the sudden beg for scraps with your tail between your legs. The management is probably smoking cigars and drinking brandy right now talking about how they b*tch slapped you around. You guys fold now and you can forget ever being taken seriously at the Majors. They know you will put up with ANYTHING just to fly a sh*tty old 145 around. The employees at McDonalds and Walmart making all that noise and getting on the news have more drive and determination.
EDIT: For all the PSA and PDT smack that's been layed down, think about your all your friends over at Republic, you basically are handing them a sh*t sandwich.
