Exactly. I think a lot of people have been under the assumption that a separate entity being established would provide LWOP options for mainline pilots anyway - similar to the Australian Airlines (AO) type arrangement.
It's pretty clear that this wont be the case.
If this gets voted down and the flying goes to another entity - everything in mainline stops but this time it will be a lot longer than 10 years. What happens when the 380 retires? No new aircraft coming - fleet reduction. This is not a difficult concept to understand.
A no vote will absolutely end the careers of those in mainline. A yes vote will give those in mainline a career, promotional opportunities and with that pay rises.
You're not voting against AJ or Tino...they will be gone in a few years....you are voting for your future. Sure, be angry.....but be smart and objective when you vote.
