I think the reps voted based on the input they got from the pilots (25%),
and based on who they wanted to vote for (75%).
If the rank-and-file pilots had a chance to vote you would have seen mugshots and posters all over the walls in ops for the last two weeks.

For some reason this joke reminds me of the OH management and alpa relationship... I guess it's analogous in many ways:
Jewish and Chinese Pilots.
A plane leaves Los Angeles airport under the control of a Jewish captain.
His copilot is Chinese. It's the first time they've flown together, and an awkward silence between the two seems to indicate a mutual dislike.
Once they reach cruising altitude, the Jewish captain activates the auto-pilot, leans back in his seat, and mutters, 'I don't like Chinese.'
'No rike Chinese?' asks the copilot, '....why not?'
'You people bombed Pearl Harbor, that's why !'
'No, no,' the co-pilot protests, 'Chinese not bomb Peahl Hahbah! That Japanese, not Chinese.'
'Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese... doesn't matter, you're all alike!'
There's a few minutes of silence.
'I no rike Jews either!' the copilot suddenly announces.
'Oh yeah, why not?' asks the captain.
'Jews sink Titanic.'
'What? That's insane! Jews didn't sink the Titanic!' exclaims the captain, 'It was an iceberg!'
'Iceberg, Goldberg, Greenberg, Rosenberg ...no mattah... all same.'

From what i just gathered, Mesa outcome has absolutely no relevance in Comairs future. Apparently with the merger and flow throughs with Mesaba and Compass, the new contracts and language prohibit any growth to the wholly owned unless there is a flow through agreement and some other language. Since our agreement has no provisions Comair pretty much is prohibited from any growth hence the reason the last 900 went to Mesaba. Keep in mind this is the bare bones of this and i have no other details as this is Attorney cr@p, but you get the jest. Not to spread more gloom but do not count out yet another displacement in the near future....I'm batting 1000 on my info from source so I am hoping I am WRONG on this one. Good luck to everyone on their respective transitions including myself.
