Consider this.
My perception is that a lot of LUAL guys are concerned that the only reason a Continental guy would vote NO on this TA is to delay the whole process so that the Continental side can continue to upgrade captains and ultimately shrink the UAL side out of existence.
I don't see that from where I sit as a furloughee on the CAL side, but I think this is the perception.
What do you guys think? And what could be done to show the LUAL side that this is not the case?

I don't think sUAL guys care WHY sCAL pilots might vote NO. They DO care that a delay in a JCBA and ISL results in exactly what you highlighted...sUAL stagnates/shrinks and sCAL grows. Regardless of the motivations of the sCAL pilots, the effect on sUAL pilots is the same.

The vote of yes or no will have little effect on the SLI. It may drag it out longer, but you will end up in the same position on the list and at the sound of it, with a far inferior contract than you should have. Even the scabs are voting no. Geez.

Bearcat, I could care less how any Continental pilot is voting much less the scabs. "At the sound of it, with a far inferior contract than you should have." I realize that it's not perfect, but it's way better as a whole than the bankruptcy contract that I've worked under for the last 10 years. Are you a CAL guy?
