Yep. Don't you think it's strange that the company was able to recently hire 100 pilots, during lockdown, when there was no flying and there's an imminent stand down? There's been some deal brokered between the unions and the company, hence the fear mongering campaign to push pilots to vote this EBA up. Every time someone mentions they spoke to FW, the unions send out an urgent advice urging people to vote up the EBA or end up on the award.

Vote no again then go to the award and hope the judge is on your side?? If you want to sprout No you need to come up with your plan B and show us where it leads.
You don't just go to FW and seek to terminate an EA after a couple of negotiations. FW can only terminate the agreement after protracted negotiations and IF FW IS satisfied that it is not contrary to the public interest to do so, and that termination would be appropriate, taking into account all of the circumstances. It's a long, expensive process and of the thousands of applications made to terminate, isn't it interesting that only 3 companies that have been successful in having their EBAs terminated in the past 7 years? Read those cases. The fear mongering of pilots ending up on the award is abysmal to say the least.
