Poll: Pinnacle TA - Vote Yes or No (Dec 22)
I have heard both sides and I am leaning toward a NO vote. The proposed TA is better than what Delta is threatening but I think a complete shutdown will happen nice and slow still giving me plenty of time to make as much as I can before I leave. The longevity bonus and severance pay doesn't add up to what I will lose if this thing passes. I don't think it is feasible to shut us down as fast a they say, 6 months.

Look, for FOs id be taking a $7 an hr paycut. Average 80 hrs a mo, thats $560 a month. for 12 months thats over $6,000. So while we accept the paycut were losing money that they will just pay us when we get furloughed.

Hahahahaha! I laugh at this post. There is no pilot shortage. There never will be! It's been prophesied since the late 90's. There will NEVER be a shortage of pilots willing to work for a major airline that pays gobs of money and gives you half the month off.
For every pilot job posted at a major, they probably get 50 qualified applicants.

In my particular situation I know I will NEVER be senior at my company and I doubt by the time a major calls me that I will have enough time in my career to be senior anywhere else either. I wouldn't get into aviation again if I had the chance to knowing what I know now if only I could turn the clock back.

My sentiments exactly. They would be paying us with our own money. It's a no vote.
