We are certainly a solid unified group. 97% in favor of capitulation.
NostraBubbs continues to predict immediate ratification of the 1st TA presented by the MEC.
-Bubs.
This makes no sense.
What was the alternative, Bubs? Voting no, patting yourself on the back and taking a 13% pay cut? How does that help the pilots as a group, or you, as an individual?
The union has stated that under no uncertain terms, that voting for this LOA will have ZERO affect in either the timeline for an ultimate TA or a lessening of what we ultimately will vote on.
Stop being so melodramatic. This was an opportunity to get a small increase in pay for 2017 and a few extra vacation days. That's it. What our NC negotiates for remains unchanged. If the company chooses to falsely believe that this vote referendum can somehow be interpreted as weakness or division...well....they're sorely mistaken.
