Don't do that. It is a silly uneducated thing to say/do. Whatever the contract has in it, Read it first. Then go to the road shows ask your questions. But don't make up your mind before that. Also, remember to compare it to every other regional contract out there as well because although it may not be as good as you want it still may be the highest floating turd in the bowl. Then if you don't like it, proudly vote it down with rock solid reasons as to why you choose to do that.
What if it's the highest floating turd yet still concessionary to our current contract?

Exactly. Why would anybody vote to cut their pay?

It's really an easy question that will derive me to my vote. Is it concessionary?

(you are probably correct, its going to still be the best regional contract out there, but will be concessionary to the current one)

We don't know that until we read it. That's all I am saying. And it's possible that we concede in some areas and gain in others as well. But we don't know yet

Don't be stupid. Read it then vote. If it sucks vote NO.

Agreed. If it sucks, vote no. If it's better than any other regional contract but still sucks, vote no. It's not difficult.

From what I'm hearing, it sucks.

Default SA5X

Hey what's the deal with being SA5X on our own planes? Listed last night, it showed up as SA5X. Assumed the system would figure it out and change to SA0X but no luck. And, as usual, the SureJet travel department won't pick up their damn phones.

If you booked on another airline's metal first, and connected to your own metal sometimes it sequences like that. As far as the travel desk they only respond to emails. Good luck.

That wasn't my situation. Just a one leg commute... I'll send them an email. Glad I made it to work since I was wrongly put at the bottom of the list.
