All it takes is a nice stroll through the union MB to see the comments made by the rank and file to see 75% voted yes. They looked at the payscale and because it favored captains, they mostly voted yes. Obviously some FOs had to vote yes too which is even more insane. But once the dust settled and the lack of work rule wording and contract language started showing its ugly head, the moral droppped and reality set in.

The scariest part of all this from a stability standpoint is that management wanted to extend this current contract with giving you guys nothing monetary in return. That’s a big red flag to their financial state IMHO.
