Think about this though, Do you think your more thought out or meticulous than WM, better at seeing the big picture, with more integrity than GT, smarter than CG, and more of a contrarian and more cynical than RO ? But yes, all four lost their minds and settled because of contract fatigue? Not saying your wrong, maybe your right. Go, be respectful, listen, and in the end just vote!
I am gone for real!

Good for you...all of that extra gladhanding you enjoy.
Great thing is you are paying it forward with your full throttle YES vote to the team...not to AS pilots, of course.
No, the real winners (just behind the Company) will be AS Flight Attendants. See, AS pilots are truly deserving of massive gains over our tepid CBA...and the MEC delivered very sizable gains. But to vote in this TA as it is will be a gift to everyone else within AAG. There is money left by on the table and the notion we will be worse in the end to send our NC back to the table is the biggest fantasy of all. That is their mission...get the best deal possible. The NC was at the table and we ended up with a strike authorization. An indictment against the NC? Hardly...but that overwhelmingly got us the TA of today. So...can you not believe to hold out for more is TOTALLY out of reach? All it takes is a NO. Our team goes back and hammers out the ends the Company previously balked at.
Otherwise, vote YES and be an early ambassador for the FAs rejection of their TA1. It will be pilot money left on the table to finance their TA2.
....and we will be negotiating at the table still in 2026 wondering why grievances are delayed, the Company took our 3 year contract and made it 5 anyway while our contract didn’t meet all our 2019 needs in 2022.
Ask for more...it’s there.
