I posted this comment on JBLU pilots and I think it warrants a repost here.
Vote. Don’t care if you are for or against, be sure to take the extra 2 mins out of your day and vote for what you want. I’ve been open, honest and transparent that I’m a yes voter, but that shouldn’t matter. This vote is going to be 70/30 or 60/40 so anyone who chooses not to vote could really swing the election one way or another.
Talk to your family. Read the union Q&A. Go to a roadshow. Read the TA sections that matter most. Then vote.

Again is scope the reason to vote, maybe but let’s agree that the company sure can change its mind. Maybe they don’t care about RJs now but when you and I got hired all they ever said was organic growth until we tried to buy Virgin. RH is no DB not in a good or bad way but we can’t sit here and “imply” (is that better) that they won’t get a regional one day. You could make the brand argument as I always did but obviously they don’t care about it these days.

^^^^ Agreed. Always amazes me when results come out and it shows only 85-90% participation. How the F can you not take a minute to vote on something that affects your QOL.

Oh I’m sorry you just heavily and sarcastically implied they wouldn’t, my mistake.

Makes you wonder if they were actually going to buy them or if they wanted a competitor to acquire a debt laden airline.... sometimes creating the threat of something compels others into action.
Kinda like how the mere existence of a TA, no matter how bad it is, makes people feel like they need to accept it.

I know! They were just about to do it! We foiled them, and their line of pilots chomping at those low wage jobs. No way that plan could have backfired.
And trading out larger aircraft for smaller ones in this airline environment is wicked smart, all the other airlines are doing it! It's the new trend, small-gauging... We saved them from themselves.
