ASA Electronic Strike Ballot is Here!!!

[FmrFreightDog]

Just cast my "Yes" vote. I didn't hesitate at all, as I feel it is the right vote. But, unlike a lot of you, I'm not happy about having to take this step.

I'm not happy about a management that views me as a liability rather than an asset.

I'm not happy about a management that feels like they can increase their bonuses on the backs of the employees who keep this company running.

I'm not happy that it had to come to this, but I would rather watch this company burn to the ground than watch it become another Mesa.

Hey BL... where are my stock options? I guarantee you that I do far more on a daily basis than you do to keep this disfunctional family you call an airline afloat. I'm not quite yet to the point where I want to see this company fail just so I can see you out of a job (ala Eastern & Frank Lorenzo), but I'm damn close. Make no mistake.... I, and my fellow pilots, are the ones who got you that bonus. We are also the ones who can take it away. You need to wake up and realize that the pilots and the flight attendants are the ones who make up for your lack of oversight. We are the ones who spend out days putting band-aids on your gaping wounds. Without us you fail..... And righfully so.

Then again, who am I kidding. You have gone well beyond Skip in the art of insulation. Unlike most of our pilots, I have spent time in your office. I have seen how very very little you do. I am finished bailing you out, and I pray that Jerry Atkin sees you for the waste of a salary that you are.

My vote??? HELL F'IN YES!!!!!

 

[7KCAB]

YES from me as well.

Uh, I never got an email or anything in the mail about this. Have y'all received something that tells you this site is for real?

I'm not happy about this situation, and it will hurt to check the yes box. I mean, this isn't a proud day, but there seem to be many jovial people. This could spell the beginning of the end, you know.

The email went out and the address is a match. Check to make sure your email address is current and check your junk folder.
