For all of you who voted yes to save our brethren from being released into a job market that is the worst since the Depression, thank you!!! For those who voted no, I sincerely appreciate and am thankful for your sacrifice!!! Especially since you didn’t want this to happen.

Right now is not the time to continue the divisive rhetoric, we need to rebuild bridges with our fellow pilots. We are all UNITED!!!

"We are all United"??? You have to be kidding right?? Union reps keeping their 94hr pay, top and middle groups work hours stripped and given to guys 2 years on property, carve-outs for displaced CAs to buy votes. This pilot group is so UN-UNITED we get a ccs message to play nice. This ratification will haunt us for 10 years on and no, we cant just move on.

First of all, TI was unambiguous about the fact that our Union Reps were going to take the commensurate reductions associated with their seniority range. So that’s the end of that!!!

We must be part of the solution rather than part of the problem!!!

"First of all, TI was unambiguous about the fact that our Union Reps were going to take the commensurate reductions associated with their seniority range..."

ONLY after he was directly and repeatedly cornered about the issue is what I keep hearing.

Everything else Cal 73 said is dead nuts on. Dividing the group and pitting them against one another is the single most UN Union thing I have ever seen. This deal should have been DOA. We made UA's problem our problem. And the scars won't heal until the most junior guy today is retired. Way to go ALPA. Way to go Todd.

What I keep hearing?!?!? Is that evidence that one can hang a hat on? You have disparaged the reputation of someone and the best evidence you have is “what I keep hearing”???

You better have more evidence than that hearsay. What you got for us? Proof please?

I heard it from his lips on one of his videos. Watch the videos... You’ll see it for yourself!!!

Logic is certainly not enough to make the #tinfoilhats S.T.F.U. I wonder if there’s anything at all that can?

Question: If/when UAL does furlough, how much of a larger PWA change do you think you folks would take to not furlough?

Will be up to the BK judge.

No narrative here. Of course, there is technically a difference. I could argue that reducing our guaranteed hours is a concession that effects our total pay, (hence “concessionary pay”) but I think we’re just being arbitrary & semantic, & I think my point was clear even if you take issue with the wording. Like I said, no hard feelings to the yes voters & only time will tell if we made the right call. We made this decision as a group & I'm for moving forward in unity. I’m also for continued respectful evaluation of the situation as it progresses to inform future decision making. Honestly, I really hope the yes votes are the ones who end up being justified by the course of future events.

I think we need to move on and see what happens...it might be a quick learning experience for junior folks or maybe we’ll be pleasantly surprised...

I can imagine if you were in a 10% cut range, it feels like concessionary pay. As a bottom third guy, I think there is a huge difference. If I was making the same money and had to be on call 18 days a month, that would severely reduce my ability to find extra work. As it is, only being on a call nine days a month enables me to get another full-time job... Or be home with my kids so my wife can work full-time
