Don, rejecting the TA (if it happens), getting released (ditto), and moving towards a strike doesn't necessarily mean a strike. But if the TA flops, the THREAT of a strike might be what it takes to get a better agreement. Are there risks in playing that game of chicken? Sure.

I was responding to the post that suggested to toss it all away and just walk away and make them give the pilot group what they want. I responded why that would not work at this time.
I am not saying the threat will not work, I am saying both sides know they can't afford it. No pilot should be thinking that in their back pocket they can go on strike for 30 days (or more) and walk away and they will get THE industry leading contract.
Mesaba was also a lot closer as I recall, they had only 2-3 sections that were being held up. Kick this TA back and your looking at more than a few sections that people are going to want tweaked.

9E guys- let's do the talking on airlinkpilots so management doesn't get a free show. Details will get released but let's keep things on our side of the fence for the first few days.
Also- please NO copy/paste from the company board of OTHER pilot's comments.

I agree, it is not important what people from other airlines think about this right now, we have to look at it and decided for ourselves. I am not going to look at this website until after the voting. Later Losers!

Vote NO
11 min for line holders, 10 for reserves.
no more extensions or junior assignment into day off
1 ja refusal a month.
but subpar pay, only 75% DH and Cancellations
no duty or trip rigs
10 mil to be split among 1300 of us and it's going to be payed out in halves? I want a FAIR contract, not a subpar

This is no way to waste a 99% strike vote on a sub-standard not even good for Mesa contract!

Please read the whole contract and vote the way you see fit but don't sell your self short. It has been almost 5 years no reason to sell you self short on a contrat now. I was in this with you untill June and had my exit interview with Garvin. I'm now on the corp side and it is much better but I will help you guys out any way i can
