I voted NO for the pay proposal.

My understanding is that the company said they would negotiate with us. I want to see if they hold up to that.

It is also my understanding they began working on this pay proposal right after the ALPA vote failed, so it took two months? They could come up with something better in a short amount of time since they already have a base set.

Another one of these smoke and mirrors pay increases that people get suckered into. Some of pay "increase" is just shuffling money around. Our management plays our pilots like pawns and I always enjoy watching these guys vote yes!

I hope it doesn't pass, but I think it will. I have heard too many times with the guys I have just flown with, "they don't have to give us a raise" or "it is better than nothing". That is their reasoning for voting yes.

A union would not have worked here because of attitudes like that. Our pilot group was all fired up and unified for about two weeks after the union drive failed. Now, we are back to drinking the Kool Aid!!!
