If you can’t, vote no. Everyone has a vote. Im not gonna keep wasting my time on a forum going back and forth with the same 5 No voters. I just finally offered a different opinion because I see straight up non factual bullish!t being spread.
Money isn’t left on the table. Lost money would be captured in retro/signing bonus, and then some…just like it always is. Your same arguments are tired and have been used for decades, especially this last decade. And in the last decade, with a rising tide, every single no vote has yielded significantly better contracts, despite the union saying it was impossible or unlikely to get more, and that if they did get more, the time value of money outweighed the gains. Go ask delta guys how they would be sitting if they voted yes in 2015. Go back and read their boards and their yes voting arguments (sound similar to yours) and look at the alpa fear/uncertainty/doubt spread back then. They voted no. They got way more.
