Guys who take VSP won’t have a vote in the future. I have no idea how many people are going to tale VSP.
However, in general, the senior guys who don’t take VSP and stick around are more likely going to be of the more “happy he here”/“I’d do this job for free” variety than the guys who would prefer to do something else. Those guys, in my experience, tend to be more the true believer/koolie type.
That is going to change the voting dynamics. Imo, it makes it more likely than ever that this group will vote in concessions.
Plus, if you stick around, the likelihood that you’re going to have to fly with a true believer/koolie type is higher than it was before because many of the people who aren’t overly attached to this job are going to take VSP or ExTO.
