The funniest thing about his comment is that "management" said they do not want a pilot who votes in a cheaper contract and saves the company from being shut down. The management she is talking about is obviously a supervisor in ground training or someone lower.
Not that this helps-because explaining something to an idiot who cannot understand reason is a waste of time. But I did not vote on the merits of the contract but I voted on paying my mortgage and to support my kids for another two years and not just 1. Yes, I voted yes to provide a home for my kids for a short while until I leave. Going to another regional for me is the same as losing my house so that is not an option. that idiot will be on my ignore list very soon, i just want time to find out what company and her name is.
Delta is kicking themselves that 85% voted yes. They should have asked for more cause 51% is all they need. Suppose a CA at your longevity is now $74/hr. Could you still pay that mortgage at 60/hr? 50? How about 40/hr? Where is the line drawn?
