There can only be a whip-saw if someone will do the flying for less........Don't be those guys.

I'll vote NO if all the people telling us to vote no will let us come work for your airline "DOH of course" when we get shut down.
PDT pilots have stood up when other airlines didn't, we've tried to collaborate years ago with other regionals no one wanted to talk to us then.
Each pilot will get a vote, and if it is indeed concessionary for me I will vote no.

If this would've been offered to the Republic Pilots it would've passed by 90%. It still includes top Workrules, Vacation, Healthcare. And everyone on the property today will all be at American in 4 years. Even if we see a EMB 175 (which I doubt) only a handful will remain on the property to even fly it.

And if they get 175's there will be number of them that will want to stay Captains and will stay. It will go fast for those that want to go.
On top of that if the Retirement Greivance is settled a ton will pull the plug and Retire that day. Remember PDT is one of the few Regionals that has a retirement. Grievance is over 65 rule and they might just win.
