I think saying that you’re voting yes is unpopular in public, or on a whatsapp group. The silent majority, or those that say no, but vote yes may surprise everyone.
I heard some intelligent questions at the roadshow, but I heard some really dumb ones - especially about the X/Y list. If you have reservations, have you reached out to the NC or attended a roadshow? If you have, and are still a NO vote, fair enough. If you have not and are getting your information from others, shame on you.

I’ve heard that certain prominent members of the training department are vocal NO votes. Why? Maybe because CSIs are now considered ground training and will be outsourced (read: loss of income generating option for Instructors). Or maybe General Solicitation is going away and a more transparent system will replace it (read: my sweet deals will no longer be available to me). I think the greater transparency and oversight of premium pay opportunities is long overdue. A bunch of pilots and instructors that had their own side gig going on are about to see the playing field get leveled. Outsourcing within training departments is common. Ask around. If you want to keep the present situation going and wait, vote NO. But please start the clock and calculator going for the rest of us and make sure to recoup that lost income in TA2.
