Joe's a company guy. He will vote for anything.

Can't rely on an unbiased objective opinion from him..that's not a punch in the shorts either. From years of posting that's what I've gathered. He is what he is...calling a spade a spade. No insult.

Btw I do agree SO FAR this is better than the other turds floating in this industry. Which isn't saying much btw...carriers who I refuse to speak of anymore set the standard so low.

Yep.

They can always go back at you again.

What's the point of the poll? We all know the majority will say no here but surprise surprise, the TA will pass.

2 questions to ask are:

1. How does this compare to the industry?

2. What are the possible consequences to voting NO?
One possible consequence is that 4000 pilots go to gojet on jan 15th and we close.............

Really? A company with 400 aircraft is going to disappear in 2 months?

1. Who cares?!?!? Mainline airlines are making historical profits and paying the guy who empties the LAV more in bonuses quarterly than you'll EVER see...not to mention what the FA's, gate agents and pilots are getting...on top of their nice pay increases.

I certainly don't expect that due to us being FEED and not mainline but, THEIR IS NO REASON TO BE STAGNANT OR BACKSLIDE ON PAY OR BENEFITS.

Oh yeah how much of a bonus and pay raise did ASA mgmt get for the last 4 years?

2. to quote a favorite line from a great movie: Sometimes you just have to say "What the ****" and go for it.

It's pitiful you have boxed yourself into such a corner that you will sit there and cower in fear that your job may vanish....




Emphatically NO! Straight from a 15yr. LASA "lifer".
