At that point we took something that was FAR less in both money and work rules than the first TA we said no to, and we did so just to keep our doors open. No votes in situations like that don't "show" the company anything. Life will go on for you guys either way, just with a lot less money in your pockets over the next 2 or 3 years before the company is willing to play ball again. The game is rigged, always in favor of the corporation. The NMB will favor management. The RLA will always favor the corporation and upper management. The best way you can give the finger to these greedy slum lords is to leave. Buy why you are waiting to find a greener pasture, vote yes and make a lot more money why you are waiting for that phone call.

And while the Envoy situation had many differences there are also a few big similarities. All I am saying is, beating your chest with pride as you loudly vote "No" will only deplete your pocket book by at least 40% over the next 2 years. But feel free to "show them!"
