When the vote opens, I'll put up a new poll.
You would be surprised how many people read these forums who are simply lurkers. The information posted here does influence people. But, that info has to spread. There are still a surprising number of pilots who are not engaged yet. Hopefully, everyone will have read pros and cons by the vote and make an informed decision.

NO !
If this pilot group accepts this TA , I have no respect for all the greedy pilots out there. It is all about work rules, benefits and time off. For the you younger members. If you don't stand tall now u will be screwd for a long time of abuse by crew scheduling, as you may well know already.

Remember it is going to take a grass roots movement to defeat this turd of a TA.
Our own union is spending our 1.9% to sell this thing to us. They are producing videos, sending out emails, putting together talking points and hosting meetings.
Record profits and growth and FedEx and your union officers expect you to give up work rules like class of service, hotel in lieu, getting stuck on company jumpseats; watching our retirement being eaten away by inflation for another decade; putting 20% of lines under PBS, oh I forgot they are calling it a secondary line system instead of PBS. We don't know what the rules are for this new PBS system because the company and union will sign a side letter about those MINOR details later.
I'm not only voting NO. I'm trying to make sure the union isn't the only source of information for crewmembers. I want the crewforce to cast informed votes not just be coerced by a marketing campaign run by union officers with an agenda and paid for by line pilots who will live under this bad deal.

I'm a junior (90%) MEM MD-11 FO and I am 100% NO.
I went to the MEM roadshow and was impressed with all the presenters. But at the end of the day, I think our contribution to the corporation is more than this TA gives us.
For me, retirement is the #1 issue. The 1-2% B fund bump is an insult.
I appreciate the hard work of the negotiating committee, but we have leverage right now and we need to exercise it.
