It seems as if though whoever voted yes both at PSA and Envoy at different times were forcefully put against the wall in order for them to continue to support their families. Not sure why there's such a war of words for impossible decisions. It does not appear that any of this was EVER going to be a win/win situation from the pilot's side.
I am just curious, those of you who say that the new Envoy contract is worse than what was originally offered to the pilots when they voted no, how is it much worse?
...and here's another point I wanted to make. I assume that nobody, or at least very few, are regional lifers....so, if this new agreement guarantees quicker flows to AA, doesn't that mean that pilots will get to reasonable salaries much quicker? Wouldn't you rather have average QOL for 2-3 years and then get on the mainline and start making $70-$80k than to be stuck as an FO at a regional for 8 years with no end in sight and no upgrade?
Isn't the bigger picture here to get to the mainline asap?
