Correct - less credit equals less Pilot jobs. But consider guys getting PS to and from work with paid for hotels. I don't commute, but that seems pretty good to me.
So we as a Pilot group have to decide the difference between protecting future jobs vs improving the QOL for Delta Pilots already here.
I would say the importance of protecting future jobs varies with hiring, retirements, furloughs etc. Right now hiring like crazy, massive retirements forthcoming I would put more value on improving QOL for current Delta pilots over future jobs.
What follows is not addressed at Taylor who asked a valid question above.
I mean isn't one of the strongest cries for a no vote based on us selling QOL? VB has the potential to greatly improve the QOL for some at a cost of less Dead Head credit.
Maybe VB will truly suck but maybe guys will like it. We will have a much better idea after we actually try it. The one consistency I see on Social Media is the determined No voters trying to turn many TA items into absolute disasters all requiring a No vote based on each single point they bring up. I sense desperation.
Finally - I seriously doubt anyone's vote will be swayed by an anonymous web forum. That is not to say that this forum can not stimulate and answer questions and contribute to ones understanding of the TA.
The only way an individual poster obtains any kind of credibility on APC is by their posting history.
If a poster has a long history of well balanced, logical and thoughtful posts he or she will carry much more weight than a brand new poster with an apparent agenda who describes everything as absolute doom etc.
