Just a thought

Objectively speaking, it is highly likely that this situation will lead to an intractable bargaining hearing in two or three months' time, at the earliest. Following this, FW will grant IB. The FW commissioners will take around six months to determine an outcome, using the 2016 EA (not the recently voted-down proposal) as a starting point, and the most recent modern award conditions as guidelines. They may or may not consider other EAs of similar types of businesses, but it's important to note that "same job, same pay" does not apply here.
During the interim nine months, the crew will remain on the worst possible EA conditions, lose money due to PIA, and may or may not end up on an EA that could be better, worse, or equivalent to what has been voted down. Those who are expressing platitudes and hyperbole such as "stay strong brothers", etc., should ask themselves whether they are taking a hit themselves or simply encouraging others to do the dirty work and take a loss on their behalf.
I have not personally pushed for a Yes or a No vote in this forum. However, I have called for objective analysis rather than emotional reactions and an end to bullying and vilification of those who may hold a differing view.
Whatever your true motivation to do so might be, you're clearly trying to create division at a time when unity is crucial.
What are the former CX pilots returning to after having burned it all down exactly? Is anyone expected to believe they'll happily return to CX after what happened to that airline and what is happening to that city?
People can be forgiven for thinking you might not be who you claim to be.
