Keep in mind. This is how retarded this whole thing is. The bankruptcy judge ruled against giving pilots this much of a pay cut. So the company then turns to the pilot group, with threats, and asks the pilots to vote in the pay cut voluntarily.
Think about how retarded this whole thing is. The JUDGE said NO....and pilots on here are saying YES CUT OUR PAY!!!!
HOW RETARDED!!!

do you always spread lies or what you heard from your boyfriends's girlfriend's sister's cousin who works as a scheduler for Horizon to suit your agenda?

My post was intentded for those who don't work at Pinnacle. Some of these posts angered me. Some of you make it sound so easy. Well what I would do if.... and yet when you're truely walking in someone elses shoes most of the time the actions are different. It looks much different when you're on the outside looking in. I still feel that until everyone bands together this won't stop. It didn't stop after Comair, and it won't end with Pinnacle. A no vote from us will only shift planes to other low cost contract carriers.
Well said, I agree.

Would a strategic vote be voting no and then going to the airline taking over the flying and upgrading in a year? The upgrades at 9E are probably gone forever. Would a strategic vote be voting no because you know that by taking a pay cut now your are putting downward pressure on your future earnings for the next 10 years? Voting strategically doesn't always include a yes vote, we all know how bad many pilots want to keep their job and we all see your point of view but there are two sides to this vote - as hard as that is for many to comprehend.

Both votes will lead to the same conclusion. One will get you there quicker than the other. Don Bornhorst is the harbinger of death. This has all happened before and it will all happen again.

Ironically, a yes vote will do the exact same thing. How do I know this? Don Bornhorst is calling the shots at DCI and he is using the same playbook as he did with Comair. He was once the Comair president ( I believe we called him ''new guy 2"). He made his career by rising up through the ranks at Comair. Hell, he often told the story of how he grew up right at the end of the runway in CVG. Yet at the end of the day, he was instrumental in the downsizing and closure of Comair in much the same way that Pinnacle now finds itself. All the history you need is embedded in the annals of the ''Latest and Greatest at Comair'' thread.
Both votes will lead to the same conclusion. One will get you there quicker than the other. Don Bornhorst is the harbinger of death. This has all happened before and it will all happen again.

What's the second part that you want me to comment on? I re-read your post and can't find anything else to comment on. It may very well be there, however, I am a product of the public school system so please forgive my incompetence if it is there!
For instance, I ended two sentences just now with a preposition. In fact, if he is reading this, Baxter is gnashing his teeth because of it!
