You don't suppose it's because it's two separate kinds of votes, do you?
Like the vote on whether to send to MEMRAT or not is a decision on whether HIS PILOTS would want to decide for themselves on this TA, and maybe his personal vote is a vote on what's right for him and his family?
Personally, I don't know how you can be anything but on the fence on this contract right now. The company is always targeting 51%. If this was an easy yes, it wouldn't be on the table.

I would agree with you if they weren't pushing so hard for a yes vote. I would have loved it if they put out a message saying, we deferred the vote to you, we cant support it, you decide. At least it would have allowed them to keep their integrity intact. For what its worth, 8 of our voting reps did keep their word and proved their integrity by voting no.

It was not an easy vote and I read everything including the TA to attempt to parse out everything I could. In the end it's clear that the net gain is very little compared to the concessions. As we make $6 billion and increasing.
Sick leave left us with less protections, LCA OE drops will affect virtually all copilots, and we'll all have to work more.
I voted no for the first time ever and it was hard to do.

Just went to a LEC meeting and the idea that the company is looking for a 50%+1 vote was somewhat debunked. To long of an explanation but if you want one, PM me and I will try to recall what was said.

I found out today that the idea of Pro/Con papers was brought up at the MEC level and it was suggested that the most rabid MEC No voter right the Pro paper and the most rabid MEC Yes voter right the Con paper. This idea was shot down.
