I'm not retiring anytime soon.
I'm one of the few guys that will admit to voting yes in 2015. I'll tell anyone that wants to know. I'm also not afraid to tell them why.
You can quote Tony all you want...that doesn't mean I agree with his assessment. Fear is not a currency I deal in. I'm not panicky about wet leasing or DE Shaw, I'm not concerned about Chapter1, or Student Makeup or any of the corner cases some have elevated to "end of world" status.....You can call me naive, stupid, or unconcerned, but fearful makes no sense.
I just don't think you guys are smart enough to do what needs to be done in a timely manner...and what little you yield won't be worth the time it took to get it. You do not display acumen....just tantrums and I'm unimpressed.. I'm surprised at how threatened and ugly you get when exposed to someone who doesn't echo your group think.
An interesting new term - "corner cases"....hmmmm...and supposedly, NO Fear....well, except for that closing paragraph.
In other words...
The “Yes” voters are confident they won’t be:
Assigned Hotel Stby
Awarded new R16 Lines
Bidding LCA Lines
Selling Back Vacation then Not working
Building a retirement under the MBCB Plan
…Or remotely worried any reduction in total pilots needed will affect them
They are concerned about $$, not QOL, and are confident their current relative seniority can protect them from the concessions
They will be unaffected by any of the givebacks
NO voters understand the company wants a deal because they saw a 99% strike vote, and an opportunity to gain tactical advantage on UPS going into peak. All leverage that will still exist after a NO vote.
ReGroup. ReSurvey. ReFocus. ReNegotiate.
DAL, SWA, and UAL have all done it successfully. It can be done here as well.
The company looks past the NC and MEC - straight at the pilots - what will they see this time? How will that picture affect the future?
Vote wisely!
