The 100 or so that spend all their time here and on the Facebook DO NOT even come close to representing the mentality of the whole. Thank god!!
I’m curious as to how you come to that conclusion given that you’re one of the 100 that are here as well...

Aside from that, do you really think there is a sizeable # of pilots who WONT read the AIP and vote because of what I write? Or you?

Cmon man...

Wait, are you saying YOU are closer to representing the mentality of the whole? Here's a hint, you don't. Not even close.

Your feeble simple attempts at belittling others who have strong feelings about this in no way shadow the obvious irony in your automatic yes vote. Let me guess, you already have that tiny ratification bonus spent?

This AIP is dead in the water. We're not Spirit and we're coming in post-Jetblue. The rates are atrocious, everything else is an insult too.

No spin will change the above. We have the upper hand. A resounding message will be sent.

This doesn’t look good from the start to most of us. These bullet points are put out to get the buzz and excitement going over this deal, and it completely had the opposite effect. Going to the sales floor to get convinced it’s a good deal is unreasonable. If I looked at the brochure of a car and decided I didn’t want it, I certainly wouldn’t go to the dealership to find out from the salesman what a great car it would be for me. I keep looking. If I get a whiff of “Bad Air”, I don’t need to stick my face in the source to get a better smell of it. You call it what it is. And I know what this smells like. Go to the sales job, but you will see, there are good things in this, but the bad far outweigh anything in it. It needs to go back.

1000% READY TO STRIKE!!!

+1 Negotiation letters #35 and #36 compared to these bullet points are very far apart.

Fragile much? It's called pattern bargaining and we're not going to have your contract shoved down our throats. You should appreciate that.

Exactly. Funny how the only ones defending this AIP are the 12 year plus guys. They are now ready to sellout. They don't understand the power we have nor how crappy the pay scales are for the rest of the group year 1-11. They don't care. It is all about them.

YO DUDE, you just don't get it. They stole from the year 1-11 guys to fund the rest of the stuff that is coming in the TA. I am voting NO because of that. If we all shared the same pain then it would be different. Don't raid my coffers to fund your coffers.

I have yet to meet a 12+ year guy voting yes. Doesn’t mean they aren’t out there but remember, it’s the 12+ year guy who knows the most about living under our current contract for 11+ years. But when I do, I’ll talk with them.
