Still waiting to see what kind of proposals are made for LTD and retirement, though.

The majority are not willing to drag out negotiations on our current pay for the next 4 or 5 years in mediation.
Who knows when the next financial crisis will come, with bankruptcies and furloughs?
They might as well get this proposal out to the group and let the pilots decide what we want.
We will find out soon enough...

In the end, we will all end up with more $$ in our paychecks and about a dozen indignant people will walk around with "I VOTED NO" stickers on their bags.
Reasons to vote YES:
-Higher pay for everybody.
-New aircraft orders that provide opportunities for career advancement that do not exist for a large number of First Officers.
-Stability that will boost investor confidence, ensuring a future for Spirit.
Reasons to vote NO:
-The 10% who make a lot of $$ to not work, under the current system.
I predict it will pass by 93-95%
