I voted No.

I see the benefit of the agreement and I understand why the MEC brought it to us. I hold ZERO ill will toward a single representative, they are absolutely doing their best.

However - in my professional opinion - the benefit does not meet the risk. The risk is too great for 2%. I'm not the greedy type, but my concerns aren't about short term gains here, we are talking about the potential of long term losses in our case. We have learned from previous generations that airlines will and do take full advantage of scope in pilot labor agreements. Just because the current management team might have the best intentions, doesn't mean the next crop won't exploit every nook and cranny of this scope give. Think about that. You don't bulldoze your house to stay in a Four Seasons for a week.

It is simply not acceptable in its current form. The language has got to be tighter and we need more accountability from the Company if they want us to take this large of a risk. Just an opinion of a junior FO.
