I know you'd like them to be invalid because they're low, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't work that way. They're still paying those rates thus they're current and valid. There

Are we still using housing as an example? Because that's about as apples to kiwi as it can be. How about for the same house exact house, it value is less in lower cost neighborhoods/cities/areas of the country. And some of those houses even though it looks the same, has foundation issues and/or flood damage.

Yes yes, I know my statements has fallacies in them. Because it's a stupid comparison.

Current? A contract that is years past its amendable date is "current?"

As for foundation damage, I can't help it if they keep buying Airbuses...

Lloyd,

I'm curious- why the 180 degree shift in attitude from September?

Reality. Maybe some understanding. Just like almost everyone else was hoping for it all. Bottom line is there is just way too much risk for what we might gain back. I think Paul makes some valid points on what is likely to happen if this is rejected.

Not drinking any koolaid but trying to listen and learn as much as I can from everyone and I believe if our NC thought we could do better we wouldn’t be voting right now.

I started looking at the forums around that time and today have decided this is it for me. Too much BS and bashing and drama. Life is too short to waste it on a here I have too many other hobbies then this. Good luck to everyone, flame away cause I’m not going to read any more responses.

Fair enough, and I agree with you. I hope the tradeoff of your time off for industry trailing pay is a worthwhile investment for you.

I'm not on here to disparage, berate, or otherwise lessen the value of any of my colleagues. Quite the opposite.

Time is scarce and unlike a second, legitimate offer from Spirit Airlines, there's no way to get time back.

Vote wisely.
