Alvinski01,
People ARE thinking longterm when they talk about voting no. Once conditions are gone, they are gone for good. Yes you are right, we get paid "OK" right now but do you want to be paid "not OK" in the future?
Just because you have had a worse job in your life doesn't mean the current one is overpaid for the work. There are much better paid and easier jobs in the world too, but what does that have to do with this one?
No-one here is questioning the worth of a CCDM, but what they are questioning is why 100% of all cost savings must come directly from your paypackets. They are pointing out areas where savings could be gained within the company elsewhere. Especially when other airlines have proven that it's not necessary to have such a high ratio of managers to crew.
The company is not about to go under, this is simply their wishlist of paying their crew less money because it would be nice for them to do that. You on the otherhand will be left with the reality of $50 a week less pay for the rest of the time you work there. No-one is going to bring down the cost of your living expenses as a result, nor will you get an automatic payrise when times are good again. Take your own advice and think longterm..
