Talked to a bud the other day and he had a good point. We are a very splintered group right now.

The top 20% in each seat have the seniority to bid C/O so their W2's largely won't "show" a 24% decline like mine.

The next 20% in each seat have the seniority to have built up M/U hours due to CIC, so they too can, if they choose, preserve their W2's as well.

The bottom 10% in the airline are just glad to have a check and a job.

That leaves the remaining 50% of us pi$$ed at having to foot the bill for all of this. No C/O, No M/U, and no real chance of being furloughed.

Do the math, MGT has effectively split us right down the middle and just in time for contract 2010.

Good news is:

50% of the first group can't use a computer or just doesn't care because life is still good for them, so they won't vote.

50% of the second group is too busy trying to build 100 hour months to have time to vote.

So, the middle 50% should have the votes.
