Better yet, put your money where your mouth is. Why don't all of you that are so vocal about voting no quit your job to show support? Ya, that's what I thought. Until you are willing to help with the solution, you're part of the problem

That isn't only unique to Pinnacle. I see that and backpacks worn at many airlines. Furthermore, have some compassion for the stress we have been under the last year. Things always look different when you're on the outside looking in.

The north face jacket came into play when this waste of a airline switched our uniforms from blue to black but would not pay for new overcoats. They told us to wear a blue overcoat with a black uniform and while that isn't as gay as shyguys new uniform at virgin it looks far worse than a black north face jacket. I don't carry a back pack but I don't have a problem with them it seems mainline doesn't either being that I see double breasted with back packs everyday.

Some at another regional paying very little as a first year FO. I repeat THINK STRATEGICALLY.
Would a strategic vote be voting no and then going to the airline taking over the flying and upgrading in a year? The upgrades at 9E are probably gone forever. Would a strategic vote be voting no because you know that by taking a pay cut now your are putting downward pressure on your future earnings for the next 10 years? Voting strategically doesn't always include a yes vote, we all know how bad many pilots want to keep their job and we all see your point of view but there are two sides to this vote - as hard as that is for many to comprehend.
