Milwaukee 5/18/2010
My Fellow AirTran Pilots,
The results are in, and they are impressive. 96.2 percent of eligible pilots turned out to vote and a resounding 97.48 percent said YES!
This historic outcome validates what we already know: that we are unified in our demands for a contract that improves our pay, quality of life, job security and benefits. We have spoken as one, and we will not rest until management recognizes the contributions and concerns of this pilot group.
In a few hours, dozens of your fellow pilots will deliver the same message at the shareholders’ meeting in Milwaukee. We will stand proud and strong, knowing that behind us are 1,427 of the finest pilots in the world.
Brothers and sisters, this is our moment. We do not wish for a strike. Even more so, however, we do not wish to continue down the road we have been traveling. Something must give, but it won’t be our will.
We thank you for your support, and we thank you for giving your Negotiating Committee a true mandate at the table.
In service,
Linden Hillman, Chairman
ATN Master Executive Council
I gotta admit...I didn't think it would be that high of a turnout or "yes" vote. Way to go guys and gals! I'm pretty damn proud of my fellow pilots at AirTran.
