Guys this isn’t hard, just because XJT has a good contract and their represented doesn’t mean their not being hypocrites when they come on here and tell us we’re think about us and only us. Life at its most basic element is personally driven. You guys are on here bashing us for voting on what we feel is best for us and our future but in the end that’s what we all do and that's why I said "what hypocrites." Spin it how you will, that you’re always think about the industry but that’s just flaming. You believe whatever helps you sleep at night and we’ll do the same but get over it.

Yes this pay proposal is weak but when you sit down and calculate all of our bonuses and not having to pay 1.95% (yes it's deductible so enjoy your $100 at the end of the year) this proposal ends up being ASA plus 4-12% dependent on you year and seat. But because we have a lot of soft pay you guys don’t see it and you continue to wine and moan.

I voted YES for ALPA, as did many of my brethren, because I thought that it was best for me and my future. Others felt different, hey that’s they’re opinion and now I’m forced to deal with my groups decision but don’t bash us for making our decisions based upon what right for us, our futures and our company. You guys do the exact same.

I'm not making excuses for my brethren voting down ALPA but even though I disagree I still respect them and I always well, just as I respect all of you. BTW, stop assuming that because the ALPA drive failed that we all voted no.
