I have yet to fly with a single person that admits to voting yes for the current CBA or for the current MEC for that matter.
I don't think all the "senior" pilots are in that mental mode, for some giving up seniority and to a certain extent, to start back at the bottom somewhere for possibly a chance to upgrade and be reserve until they retire is not an option. I think we are all aware that there needs to be major changes, especially when it comes to putting a leash on sCrew Resources and keeping them out of our paychecks, the new DO has already chewed AL a new a-hole on a couple of occassions and this might be the cause of retalliation on CS part. I have a feeling though, they (MEC), are working towards some big improvements. However when the time comes and we have a TA, READ IT ALL not just compensation, form your opinion and vote accordingly. I have flown with a few that have said they don't care if we basically get the moon they will vote NO regardless and force the company's hand. This is also not the right attitude.
