If every one of them voted yes, we're looking at 53/47 in the "no" favor, but I think it's going to be a lot closer than we all think. Yes, CKA's are all for this NOW. They don't care about QOL improvements and neither do most over 60. All of the pilots who spent 25 years in the right seat don't care about QOL right now. It's make up time for them as relatively new Captains. They don't care about the people who are upgrading in less than 4 years and getting their asses handed to them on reserve because they didn't get that opportunity. They want more money NOW.
