The Prediction Thread
 

What's your prediction on the vote? I'm going with NO 53.9. Winner gets either a bonus check or volunteer position on the failure survey team.

Okay, I'll play. I must warn you, I almost always win these prediction bets, as I have a psychic gift. However, I haven't been working much lately, therefore haven't talked to that many people. I'm going with 62.1% yes, with it highly biased towards the older and instructor blocks.

Unfortunately my psychic gift doesn't work when it comes to the stock market. Or gambling.:(

I say it passes 56-44 with 93% voting.

54-46 pass on a TA that no one likes....

I predict that, no matter the outcome, 100% will be *****in' about something.

I win.

If this passes with any of predicted percentiles above then we were outplayed again.

Dang it!!

You have won.

I predict it passes. But everyone will claim they voted no.

Bingo!

And if this holds true --- it's really quite sad

(....so let's not be sad, remember there's 34 hours left to change your vote!! :). )

Wait, I thought the vote on the top of the page was the actual vote. I was going to guess 28% (27.64% for TonyC) yes and about double that for no (56.2821% for TonyC).

...51% yes

Since most pilots seem to be Republican, and with that in mind, aren't really interested in the welfare of anyone other than themselves, I'm going with 73% voting Yes, and 27% voting No, with 91% of the eligible voters voting. I hope I'm wrong.

Because nothing says I am noble like giving away someone else's money I am going with 73% no and 9% voting. BTW republicans give a larger share of their money to charity than democrats.

Any other predictions you want to make, or truths you want to tell us?;)

My prediction is that it will pass by a narrow margin. My other prediction is that once we start living under this contract that there will be a lot of po'd pilots. Including yes voters. Some think that they will only be affected by the work rules changes only occasionally. You will regret your yes vote (unless of course you retired). I warned the MEC long ago to not produce a divided TA. This TA brought too many divisions to the pilot group. I am very disappointed in what they brought to us. Hopefully a majority of us vote no.

As much as it pains me; 53% yes and 47% no, 99% vote. Please, please, please I hope I am wrong, but anything less than a C.D last minute message stating his "no" stance will allow this POS to pass.

I hope if doesn't pass, but there be a lot of dumb and selfish people in this pilot group. You know the ones. The "I got mine" guys. Wish we could publish what everyone voted for.

so are all of the yes voters "dumb and selfish" or just a lot of them? :rolleyes: maybe some yes voters are better than others in your world ?

My prediction is that Policywanker crawls back in to the hole he came from, with a yes or no vote !

I predict the IPA Strike Authorization Vote will be 97% to Strike with 98% Voting.

Hope u guys won't have to live under such a poor Contract for the next 9 years. Like I said earlier. Let us, who are unified do the work. You will have a much better A-Plan and Hourly. Since we will not accept anything lower than $310. Not the $285 the COLA only is giving you.

Moronically Delicious
 

Jetjok-strap, you have really demonstrated your colossal ignorance with that one. Conservatives tremendously out-give liberals by a huge margin when it comes to charities. Do your homework before you flap that piehole below your up turned nose. Most blazingly stupid and inaccurate comment I've seen on this forum this year. Congrats! OBTW, you definitely are wrong.

Too late! You know it's going to be FDX + a dollar.

I think it will pass 61% yes, with only 79% voting. We're a sorry lot. I'm po'd either way this one goes. Why does our union put in measures that divide us? At 53 yrs and 10 months I'm confident I'll retire under this plan, but screwed by both sides again. I'm usually wrong about everything, just ask my wife, but I'm hoping for a no.
It's also my opinion that the company needs a happy crew force to make it through the next two months, so if it is no, they'll come up with something to make us happy quickly. My bet is we get to keep the leather jackets and parkas!

Might be time to check the meds jok.

Pass 59-41%. 95% eligible voting.

Nailed it.

I don't think Policywonk nor GiggityGoo would be on that list.

I think cgflier has it. The Company has done a great job at dividing us with such a lame offer that does have certain benefits. And to have some of our reps write the things they have and folks on this forum throw trash around; we are still our own worst enemies.

It is always safe going opposite the moron who thinks Hillary cares deeply about him and his feelings.

68%-32%

And, we'll read about the awards Ford and Harrison and the rest of the company's negotiating team receive in the coming months.

63%-37% for, however, in January 2016, 85% of the pilots that you encounter will claim to have voted against.

I think that Busboy has it right ... history has proven more than once that we'll vote for anything that has a 3% pay rate increase and some sort of "cash-now" signing bonus!*?

We fall for it every time ...


:eek:

I predict that Commando will be along soon to tell us to vote "No" so UPS can do the "heavy lifting" on this contract. Also that UPS had just agreed on their payrates on the morning of Oct 20th, and when this TA passes, their mediator will pull their new $480/hour payrates and just give them FedEx's new rates + $0.05.

Okay, you really do win. Favorite post of the week!!

FXDX Wins 56 prediction vs 57actual. Nice

My next prediction is its going to be a long 6 years. :(

Mr. T predicts, "Pain!"

Pretty close on these.....

Actually, my spouse nailed it. 57-43%. I lost a $5 bet.

Tell your spouse I'll cover your $5 with my sweet-a$$ bonus check. ;)
