Top that off with people quitting or not showing up for class after being hired. There is only a few people in the applicant pool. The reserve list is always depleted. A lot of people are now looking elsewhere to get out of here. But yet CT thinks its all good. G.O won't be saying that anymore in the next few years....
They need 51% once it gets past the MECs and it really is a math problem to them. The people they can scare into voting yes with doom and gloom, the lifers who just want a job for a few more years, and the people who can't be bothered because they are on the way out are not going to help our chances.

You guys better hurry up and get your deal inked before Eagle ALPA manages to screw the pooch with the extra concessions being asked by the new management putting us in line with Pinnacle.
