At a time when mgt cares about the image of the airline, waiting on a vote is only hurting us. Strike vote now and follow it up with billboards and newspaper ads.
This is absolutely correct and why we need to have the strike vote now. Would you buy tickets on an airline that as far as you knew, could strike at any time? I bet this was instrumental in bringing hawaiian to the table. I don't see what we are waiting for. The company clearly has no intention of negotiating in good faith or giving us a reasonable contract. STRIKE VOTE NOW!
