Easy. Something's better than nothing. $6000 signing bonus and a slight increase in pay. Time value of money. I'm glad you voted it down, but what happens now? 2 more years under current contract? It would have increases a lot of your pilots's paychecks. I'm surprised only 15 percent voted yes. I though pilots were more conservative than that as a whole.

We had nearly the same at XJT. Here is my theory... 5% are brainwashed new hires who are just off probation. 5% are guys who know they are leaving asap and want a few extra dollars before leaving, and 5% are guys who are trapped and are never leaving the regional level and want negotiations to be over so they can get their few extra dollars. Add in a smattering of schoolhouse guys who hardly ever fly the line. There are your "YES" vote demographics. Very small groups of guys with slightly differing opinions, but voted in favor.

Your friend must be even dumber than he appears. He had every chance till the voting window closed to go back and change his vote. In fact, IBT ALD Team wanted pilots to go back and vote yes since Eagle was going to vote yes to their agreement.

Actually he has a striking resemblance to Dilbert, so I'm not sure that's possible.... I'm sure he changed his vote, it's been a while since I last spoke to him. He might not be the brightest crayola in the box, but I'd like to think he's smarter than that.

They call me a lot for OT on my days off, I usually say no if I even pick up. But they can't force me...
Per our CBA they can't make you work into a day off at all. The worst they can do is REA you is 2 hour later than your originally scheduled finish time on the last day of your trip. On the middle days of a trip, they can REA to they're hearts content up to the Pt 117 limits.
Remember though, you can always call fatigued, I hope this clears things up a bit.
There are plenty of issue working here, thank God this isn't one of them.

Not defending this company for what they do, but a REA here isn't really a jr man. Jr manning is making you work on your days off. Different carriers do this diff ways, a lot of times its basically if your dumb enough to pick up the phone on your day off your fair game.

I think this belief is from not having to had worked at other carriers under different contracts.
Additionally other carriers do not have unlimited reassignment ability, ESPECIALLY without ANY premium pay being involved.
But some love trying to put lipstick on a greasy pig!!
