I think all the guys in my new hire class voted 'yes' because SAPA came into class and gave a big song and dance about upgrades and basically said 'you'll be doing the right thing by voting yes...' When you're new to a company without a lot of first hand knowledge or access to other points of view, and the pres of SAPA says 'vote yes,' you vote 'yes.' We weren't aware of selling out our fellow pilots. With the benefit of hindsight, I probably wouldn't have voted at all.

Admitted from the previous post, a new hire who wishes in hindsight that he hadn't voted because he didn't fully understand it.

Same reason you need to be 18 to vote in this country. A human being is a human being regardless of date of birth, right?
Though that is true, a four year old might not have a deep enough understanding of the ramifications of their choice to make an informed decision.
If a person of authority speaks in the four year old's new hire class, they might be able to easily trick them with toys, candy, or a 3% pay cut.

Maybe after they get a year's worth of trips under their belt so they can judge for themselves areas in the contract that are lacking? Something tells me a big-eyed new hire that has been fed Skywest flavored Kool-Aid for 3 months may struggle to generate an objective decision on their future. This is ESPECIALLY true when you start saying the word upgrades and growth.
