I don’t understand this argument. Voting is open for two weeks once opened. Anyone with half a brain isn’t going to submit their vote day one without reading it. Perhaps someone who wants a quick buck will vote early... but they will still have to wait two weeks for the results.

Trying to get the vote passed before the AA WO have a chance to raise pay that will top Endeavor.

Right now, "close enough" to Endeavor pay will likely pass. But once Endeavor isn't even tops anymore, and RJET will be lower than Endeavor, it would never pass.

From the reactions on our FB pages, it doesn't look like it's being positively received. I predict a 65% no vote with 85% voting

Not to ask a completely silly question, but....

When you guys and gals vote on a contract and the contract passes, how long is that contract good for? Is there verbiage in the contract that spells it out? I ask because I hear of people flying on a contract that is 7-8 years old. Who decides when a contract is to be voted on (the company or the union or both)? I'm training for my CFI so I have no idea how this all works.

It is spelled out in the TA.

Every contract/TA is different so it varies by company. However, thanks to your friendly Railway Labor Act your question is basically meaningless as there is no such thing as an end date of a contract in this business. If a new contract is not agreed upon the old contract remains in effect indefinitely as a lot of Republic employees already know all too well.

Interesting, I wasn't aware of that. I guess that explains why some shops fly for years on the same contract. Thanks for the reply!
