I can't think of one advantage to vote NO. People keep talking about he emotional reasons to vote NO I am still waiting for a compelling reason. Even if you are the last guy on the seniority list YES with money in your pocket on the way out the door seems better than not getting that money especially since your pay rates are changing much anyway.
This new contract will most definitely be used as the new ruler to measure the competitions cost structure.

Before deciding how to vote, take a look at what this TA would do to your unemployment benefits. In Texas for example, most folks will lose about $100/week. See for yourself:

I never blamed it on mainline when I was at the regionals and I don't now either. It's an easy scape goat to say it's up to mainline to fix it. I say pilots shouldn't get into an industry that has become so cut throat in racing to the bottom. No one complained about the wages when we entered the industry and the pay was no where close to as high as it is now. It's about as invalid as a chicken or the egg debate to say that "only mainline pilots" can fix the mess that has become the regional airline. I wouldn't pursue the career if I was just starting out. Problem is there are still tons of pilots schools with SJS students who can't wait to fly the mighty RJ's. I say that is the problem. The bottom line is the well was poisioned a long time ago and there is really no fixing it.

I dont think the pilots at Pinnacle need your opinion on how to vote, or how good or bad the TA is. We all know this TA sucks, just let it go. Why are you even giving your opinion on a TA that doesn't even matter to you? How many post have you made giving your opinion about the Delta or United TA?
