And that’s the big sticking point. New hire SOs will loose out either way here. The best scenario for them is to take the hit under the mainline conditions offered.
For everyone worried that the 350 will replace the 380. You are damn right to be worried. Wait till the new entity is setup, and the 380s are replaced by 350s under the new entity. 767 retirement anyone? A complete loss of fleet flying.

Which part of the spin / threat / drivel you choose to believe will dictate how you vote.
By all means if the proposal is acceptable vote yes, but don’t do it cowering in fear.
Sorry but I really think you need to take your own advice.
Back in the day the number was over 100 787s to be ordered. Do you know what happened since then? Are you familiar with JETSTAR?
Jetstar was a new entity. A new entity that took jobs from mainline. Lets not let that happen again.
A YES vote is not cowering in fear. A YES vote is a smart decision for your future.
