Then we vote no and let the chips fall where they may.
I refuse to be bullied into voting less than we deserve. If anyone has pressure from outside forces it's management... not the pilots.
Remember that AA just recently voted down a "Last and Best offer" in bankruptcy and got a much better contract. The tide has turned and the bill is due.
Oil is down... the economy is up... all major airlines are hiring... we make more money than anyone can believe... our stock is through the roof and 80% of it is owned by people other than MG.
We deserve a great contract. Voting for less than that is simply not an option.
