Then you will take the money that they voted for and build yourself a better future, while bitterly despising them for voting to pay you that money.
Just so we're clear.
Personally, if this is voted in, I plan to use the money to buy my fellow pilots more beer on overnights, because I'll be loaded.
If this is voted down, I plan to buy my fellow pilots more beer on overnights also, cause I'll still be loaded, and in the long run it doesn't make a whole lot of difference.
If this is voted in, then I no longer see a group capable if attaining anything in the future. So........what I will do in 2020 is use some of the very same rationalization a many if the yes voters now are doing and taking what I can, while I can regardless of the long-term consequences.
