Way to defeatist. Saying that we deserve to get payed less because we already are getting payed less is what got the airline industry in the position in the first place. And if that argument held ANY water, I would point out that pinnacle pilots were also payed less than mesaba pilots for the same work on the same equipment and are now going to be getting the same. Why isn't that in question? Good for the goose...

And as for getting mesaba's pay anyway if we vote no: If we don't get this contract signed then as of the 12 month anniversary of the merger announcement we are to be taken into mesaba's contract. Therefore we will get their current work rules and pay.
