So if you were a pilot, would you vote for a small pay increase when you know that things will be slowing down and your "QOL" negotiated items won't mean as much?

When I first started, I wasn't able to vote on the pay package because I was still in training or probation, I can't remember. Now we are told that pilots that are in training can vote for a pay package that is geared towards increases for them. Hopefully enough will see that first year gain isn't worth locking into a contract for 3 years. (Most likely 4 since there will be no reason to do it earlier as we have proven)

I just had a couple legs cancel on my last trip. By my estimates, I lost about 2% of my trip (about 40 minutes) because I was only paid credit instead of block for the cancels. I know there are regionals out there (union ones even) that are not paid for cancels. But we are nickel and dimed to death around here to save a buck. If you catch it and call them on it, sometimes it will get fixed. But seems like it's a poor way to treat your employees.
