DTW is "NO town" instead of "Mo town" these days. I would be very proud of my reps if I was DTW based. MEM should be very interesting, MSP should be a discussion, ATL will prob get heated. That's just my weatherman predictions. 10% of the time, it's right 100% of the time.

Neither rep in Mempho should have voted imo...One is in the middle of a recall process and the other was on the negot. committee! I can see the one being recalled voting as the results aren't out yet...but a negot. committee member? come on.

Again Pinnacle does what they do best...they have you worn down to the point anything sounds good.

I predict with 100% certainty that Pinnacle will NOT strike. Comair was the last regional strike. How'd THAT work out for them? Everyone learned their lesson.

The only real argument for this TA is that rejecting it will not result in something better. The NMB will take the process back to square one and in the next agreement (in 2-3 years) they'll never make up any difference. It'll be a squeaker, though, with the deciding factor how much of a bone the mec throws to the reserve guys in the signing bonus.

In my opinion (after talking to many) is that everyon agrees it's not a good deal, but some fear the "what if" by voting no, others just don't care anymore. The signing bonus will sway the vote though- it's a big piece to this puzzle.


This TA will come down to a vote of drive for the future. Those that will "settle" will vote yes, those willing to fight for the industry for decades to come will vote no. It's my opinion at least- and I say "NO" to this TA.

Why will the signing bonus have any say in how people vote, the union will decide how it is distributed not the company, it has nothing to do with the company. The only thing that has to with the company is the amount given - the 10 million and its pretty obvious they wont get more.

a YES vote will stay forever, the NO vote will only stay until the next TA.
