You've given many reasons not to vote yes. Here's what happens when you vote no:
The Company will assume we are fractured and weak. They will not attempt any further negotiations, and may seek release on their own so that they may implement 9000.
If you are serious about your future, and your fellow pilots, you will vote yes. I stand by my assertion that a no vote signifies:
1. Fear
2. Misunderstanding
3. A political axe to grind.
You only wish that I lead the resistance. You're making the same mistakes Herb made, you're only listening to your political allies. You all jumped on the "we want to walk out" bandwagon without building your foundation and I'm calling you on it. If you become effective in your argument, we will have both won.
If I announce that I am voting yes, you will still have resistance.
Let me say it this way. Your problem is NOT politics. You have not proven your case. Prove your case, and you'll win. I will vote yes when I am convinced that this is the right decision.
I've been defending us, ALPA and our profession on this board longer than you've been a member. see my tagline.
