While that sucks and creates an air of uncertainty among the ranks, it is no where near a "squeeze".
Status Quo is what Eagle has been experiencing for the past 3 years which is hardly any kind of hurt. It makes you apprehensive, sure. But doesn't hurt.
I hope this gamble pays off. I really do. I just think you guys aren't seeing the reality of the situation.

These things were told to us over a year ago, and now it's all the same. We were supposed to have a fleet plan when we signed the bk contract, when did we get that fleet plan? All sounds a little too familiar and smells like SH*T.
Sorry you won't get to AA any quicker Goose! Obviously you took managements advice and voted what's best for YOU.
I am not afraid to walk the street (again) from this place.
Time to shake your shiny jet syndrome.
Congrats to the rest who stood up for what you believe. I believe this is a great moment in our history. Don't let Debbie downer rain on your parade.

I totally get what you’re saying. It’s like rape? Why fight. Just sit back and enjoy it.

Today the pilots of American Eagle voted against a concessionary contract by an overwhelming margin of 70%.

All pilots must stand together during this challenging time. Your MEC will continue to support the American Eagle pilots. Only through unified action can we change the industry. Today is a continuation of our ongoing support for our brothers and sisters at American Eagle.

Either way, I hope this gamble pays off. It's not as simple as some of you make it out to be. There are a number of factors which have to come together for this to go even slightly our way. In the end, AA may come back with the same offer or a slightly worse one...at which point we vote it in anyway because of how horrible things have become.

I guess I don't get to have an opinion. I'm hoping for the best for us all...but go ahead and call/think of me what you want.

There’s always that 10 percent, or in this case 30. God bless America, you’ve been met at the ballot box. I wish you luck in the next vote. Not!

Enjoy the victory, but keep focused. Things may get harder before they get easier for all of us. With unity, we can continue to apply the pressure and make this a career worth having again.

OK here goes, you are brand new to the board and post nothing but the union busting propaganda from Ford and Harrison. You guys lost the vote this time and your agenda has no teeth going forward. Be prepared for more of the same. It really is a pleasure to see you scumbags squirm and desperately try to save yourselves.
Eagle Pilot indeed....... Hats off to the REAL Eagle Pilots!!! Bravo!!
