Major business accounts don't care.. they hear a pilot strike is possible, no matter how remote, they start moving accounts real fast.... The business accounts pay our salary..

I've never been responsible for a corporate business account or known anyone that has been, but I would imagine that they are smart enough to know that we can't strike if we are not in mediation.

I’m confused. Are you opposed to a strike vote? If so, why?

I don't know what the APA thinks it will achieve, and I don't think it will achieve anything.

What do you think about Delta’s, Southwest’s, and FedEx’s strike votes?

I'm not familiar with SWA or FedEx. Did they get a contract shortly after? Delta was in mediation. Neither the APA or American have requested mediation. Without it, a strike is impossible.

No, if the vote comes out I will vote yes.

It's about time. I'm a yes vote...and throwing a TA out for a vote that gives us Delta wages and a commuter quality of life isn't going to change that.
