I don't know. I would like to think you're right, man, but so far all of the captains have had all the foresight of a goldfish and voted yes. When my captain on this trip asked me if I voted and I said yes and asked him how he voted, he said "No". So I raised my hand to high-five him and he said "Are you serious? I don't know anybody that's turning it down." I just don't get it...but I guess I don't get a lot of things.

As of our last email we just got, 2220 pilots have voted (78%). Pretty good turn out for vote so far. It ends tomorrow at 8pm MST and hopefully we will know soon how this is all going to turn out!

My predictions. Skyw pilots will vote down the pay proposal 65% to 35%. Skyw will come back to the table to re-negotiate. They will drag out the new proposal negotiations for a year or longer then present a new proposal with a slight increase over the previous one. The increase in the new proposal will be the cash they saved over the year or whatever time they dragged negotiations out. Thus giving us the same (pay-proposal) a year or so from now. Sure would have been nice to have a union.

No, they'll come back to the table ASAP so that a pay proposal can be passed which alows for an increase in first year pay.

Then what are they going to do about first year pay? They need this increase in order to start filling classes. Will they just increase it with out compensation everyone else? If so then I guarantee their costs will go up and I’m sure many including myself will do our parts to assist these increases!
