Finally you can not say "Guys are willing to throw everyone else under the bus" because of how they vote. This is very divisive and probably just how management hopes to splinter the Pilot group and get a 51% yes vote.

A guy with a few years left has every much as right to vote yes as a guy with 30 left has to vote no. If the senior guy voting yes is hosing the young guy then how is the younger guy voting No not hosing the older guy with only a few years left?

I don't really begrudge anyone for exercising their voting rights by taking their own best interests into account. Some may vote on purely ideological grounds, others strictly on self interest but my feeling is most will vote based on varying combinations of self interests and what they think is best for the Pilot group as a whole.
