If there were a bunch of overstaffed regionals lining up behind mesa to take over our flying, calling a bluff might not be smart. But ask yourself this. If you vote no and no one walks in the front door anymore (because they’re all going to American) and people start jumping ship even worse than they already are, what do you supposed the honchos at United will do? Throw up their hands? Tell JO they’re taking him to court for not flying the contract? The amount of money that’s at stake here is far and away beyond the piddly Ulysses Grant you’re excited about getting every hour.

There’s a lot of money on the line and make no mistake, the AAWO contracts are a game changer. Lot of big meetings in expensive board rooms happening right now. Remember that time your union inked a bad deal to slash your hours one week before the airline stimulus came out? This is Covid 2.0, don’t fall for it again. Vote no.
