It was voted down simply because it was a bad deal. NOTHING ELSE
When Air Canada orders a new aircraft type, the pilots and the company sit down and discuss what the new pay structure will be. If they can't agree then it goes to arbitration to set the new payscale.
THEY DON"T DISCUSS CONCESSIONS!!!!!!
Especially when so many concessions had already been given and no other employee group was asked for more concessions.
If Air Canada can't find a way to operate these aircraft within the current slashed contract (with the lowest payrates and poorest working conditions of any major carrier) then they don't deserve to be in business.
The pilots simply had enough of concessions. They decided to stop "Giving it up" like cheap whores.
Just because your pimp offers to buy you a new dress, there is no reason bend over and take it up the ass.
