In summary, voting yes is a small loss in the short term and a large loss for the long. Voting no is a large loss for the short term and an unknown for the long. At this point, it's impossible to tell which is better. And, I'm aware that fear of the unknown is a powerful thing. Paralyzing really.
All I know is I will never be the guy who voluntarily accepts or votes my way to the bottom. The risk of the unknown is worth it - if just to send the message that accepting B scale isn't acceptable now (or ever).
In other words, I'm not paralyzed. Are you? Sooner or later, you gotta say "No."

wait till most of those that jumped to sell out for PBS figure out that their figuring of $240,000 a year turns out to be around only $13,000 a month after taxes and other deductions so only around $156,000 take home...YMMV bigger paycheck=bigger percentages. Your ALPA dues will be around $400 a month. Not complaining or anything just reminding those of you who used the confusinator calculator to make your decision probably didn’t take into account the actual take home pay... therefore your huge numbers that you think you’ll be missing out on are much lower. Just food for thought...Happy voting.

Do you honestly think pilots don’t take taxes into consideration?

You would be amazed at some of the things pilots do not take into consideration. It was meant to be a little humorous, and I knew someone would jump on it. Thanks for the laugh... have a good night.
