As soon as Casey says or implies that this contract was the best SWAPA could get, it is a done deal with our pilot group. Game over in the same way that Weaks ********'ed us in 2016 by telling everyone, "I'm not gonna tell y'all how to vote. But I'm voting yes," and thereby sealed the deal on our current near-industry-bottom POS contract. Like good lemmings, 84% of our pilot group replied, "If it's good enough for Jon Weaks and SWAPA, it's good enough for me."
News flash: Weaks never really had to work under our current contract in the way that we line pilots do. Likewise, given their trip pull and revolving committee assignments in perpetuity, Casey and much of the current SWAPA crowd won't have to truly work under the full weight of the turd they're currently devising and will soon sell to us.
The turd is coming.
Im already committed, my vote is no.
