I Voted NO
I voted NO because it is the most responsible thing to do. No one is putting a gun to our head to sign right now. We can vote this thing down, fix the language, then vote Yes. I care about my fellow pilots and this profession. I'm not going to be fear-mongered into voting for sub-standard contracts just because of speculation or some emotional decision. This is a business deal and I'll only sign on to a good deal. This isn't. Something worth doing, is worth doing well. I don't like to half-a$$ things and I could not in good conscious, and due diligence, accept this substandard TA. Remember it took 3 tries to get ALPA here. Is it possible that accepting the first offer could be a bad decision?

I wanted to do what's best for my family. I think we can do a lot better, even if it means just fixing some of the text in TA 1.0. I know people are concentrating on vacation and minor pay increases, but the rules will not let most people take advantage. At the end of the day, BJ won't adequately staff the airline. These rules don't force adequate staffing in any way, in fact, it makes it worse by incentivizing overtime. The Top 5% will still get time off, the rest of us won't. I'd like to be more than just someone who pays the bills. This still won't give me Xmas or any other meaningful date. We can do better, A LOT better.

I know, and they were just about to hire Skywest! We have soo many extra slots and gates in our hubs, might as well have someone use all these unused resources.
And, our caterers have nothing to do most of the time...
