The company needed transition and checkerboarding gone so badly it wasn't even funny. They absolutely played us. I will refrain from calling fellow pilots dumb, but I just hope we can all learn a lesson from this for next time. Don't vote based on the fear of what would happen if you vote no, or how long you may have to wait. The company will ALWAYS try to play you by making the unknown seem so scary. I get it that we were very far behind this time and it was hard to keep waiting. Next time we will still be very far behind, so we all need to start preparing for a long wait now.
