I'm not so sure about this.

One, they aren't as shallow as you might think (or at least they don't talk that way). They understand the importance.

Two, and most importantly, it makes no sense to vote yes for a PoS contract just on the basis that it's a PoS. Those that have CJOs from Big 4 might see a month of the new raise before they leave and those that don't might never get one. It's most self serving to "wait and see if something's better" than to take lesser and be stuck for a career. The vote, whenever it happens, will be very quick but the contract taking affect might be 6 to 9 months after the signing.

Sooner or later, this pilot group is gonna have a reckoning.
