I know what you're saying Lurker, but still somewhere there has to be a line below which you would say 'no way, I can't vote for that', irrrespective of whether you think you're not going to get any improvement from the company.
The reason I say this, is because *if* the new IR laws get through in their current form, the company may just about be able to offer you a sh#t sandwich and make it their final offer. Would you still vote to accept it? I just wonder where that line is for mainline pilots, if there indeed is one. There's probably not much point in having a voting process if it's a foregone conclusion that you'll accept their bottom line.
I voted no because I saw it as winding back conditions in a time of record profitability while most mainline pilots have made a concerted effort to 'do the right thing' in terms of operating as efficiently as they can for the company. If the company profit had been marginal or reduced from last time, I may have voted yes.
