Isnt Tomorrow 9-E D Day
 

Isnt tomorrow the last day to cast votes for the TA...


How soon till the results are posted.

results should be in by 11am eastern

Yep... we get to see just what percentage of this group is filled with tradesmen vs. professionals.

55% pass. That's my guess.

here is some food for thought - As of today at 2pm 80% had voted. According to our union poll there were 315 no votes and 91 yes votes. 80% is about 1020 pilots or so. If and once again a really big if these poll results are accurate 510 votes would be needed for majority so out of the remaining 614 votes, only 195 of them would have to be no votes to make this thing fail. In this case not voting at all actually hurts the yes vote.

The big x factor in this vote is people who say they are going to vote no - do they actually follow through. If not, lets move on and put it behind us.

You guys have fought long and hard for a decent and fair contract. I sincerely hope that you do not sell yourself short and let the years of negotiations go to waste on a lame, subpar or substandard contract. I wouldn't even settle for mediocre. Don't settle for 1 cent less than what you are worth.

ballot closes at 10am ET tomorrow... It will get posted shortly after. 15-30 minutes after the news will spread. All Pinnacle pilots can expect an email by mid-day.

Best of luck to you guys, I hope you get everything you deserve including retro for 5 years of bullsh*t that management put you through.

Needless to say, I'm holding my breath. Believe me, I'm gonna be checking those results shortly after 10am. It would totally make my day if this thing got voted down!!

...And by the way, I wish there would be a breakdown of what percentage voted yes/no in all four bases. That way, my MO-Town brothas and sistas would get to show HOW ****ED OFF WE ALL ARE!!!:p

I hope you guys vote it down and try to make a stand...

Good mgmt tactic to hold us at the bottom for 4+ yrs and then offer meager increases. Many I talk to are worried we won't see anything better than this and it will take another couple years to see that. FEAR is powerful, but only if you allow it.

Good Luck
 

15 minutes and counting.... Good luck!!!

I voted NO, but there is deserved fear in that vote. I just look at Trans States and think, that could be us. I like the scope protection, but man, the rest is just not good.

The countdown has started who will be the first to post the results

No matter what you guys decide- this Colgan pilot supports you and your efforts.

The Jeopardy theme song has started playing!!!

Posted on our company message board.

58% no
42% yes
91% participation

Someone just posted on the union board that it was unsuccessful

If this is accurate, congrats. Now get your reps and negotiators out there and get what you deserve -- nothing less than a fair contract.

Remember, the company's "last, best,and final offer" is anything but.

Well this drama just got a little bit more interesting. This is always a gamble, because you never know what the next offer might be. However, considering many things in this contract seem to be subpar and hardly better than some concessionary contracts out there, GOOD FOR YOU GUYS for standing firm after the last several years of BS.

That's good...based on my calculations then even if the 9% that didn't vote had voted YES this thing still would have gone down. Great going guys. Hats off to you for holding the line right now and not lowering the bar for something substandard. The "signing bonus" alone and not retro would have been enough for a NO vote from me based on what I saw.
