Congratulations to our pilot group voting in favor of stating loud and clear: TA1's concessions will not be ratified by our group!

I am so glad to see we finally grew a collective pair! Particularly with the Scope issues this TA presented under this new management.

Without the road shows, videos, fear-based sales job from the NC, and the gold nuggets targeted at a very specific seniority sub-group, the vote more likely reflects 75-80% of our group in favor of continuing down the RLA path, knowing we will NOT vote in concessions. Not after covid, not after the $Billions executives have squeezed out through stock buybacks, not after our daytime flying pax bretheren for much less profitable carriers, are ratifying true industry leading contracts that do not require special math.

Congrats to this group. As TC wisely said, no one can know exactly where this is going, but we do know we didn't agree to a divisive TA that pits senior vs junior. We will not agree to a Pancake Plan! Finally our vote said that loud and clear to Pancake Man!! So satisfying. (sorry for the cheap shot, but man, you did NOT listen to us not wanting your plan for YEARS!) Thanks for stepping down NC, it is the correct move.

We will not ratify Reserve Rules that diminish our junior pilot's QOL. Nor will we ratify diminishing our senior pilot's QOL by becoming the first pilot group who does not get paid 100% while bumped for training, with a calendar to re-fill, or not, of his or her own choosing while contemplating at home with a beer in hand getting paid for 100% of his senior-as-**** FO line.

We know we will not ratify any of that. That is true strength, and leverage.

MEC's email says something along the lines of "we will reconvene in several weeks to see where we go from here". WHAT? How about the resignation process begins immediately, so that we know who will have to be recalled and who won't.

Or better yet, I wait to hear from TonyC on what we do next. Which by the way, if he says yes to the next TA, I won't even need to read it. He is the one guy who has stood strong in the face of this campaign of pressure to conform to the NC's narrative at any and all costs. Truly, TonyC, who would be ready to walk away with a nice pension bump and a great career here, chose to stand strong and not leave a legacy of an airline job that is lower quality than he got to enjoy. In fact, he wants to leave it better. A true Unionist.

Forward, together, with the unity and resolve this RLA process is distilling from our group.
