Your personal opinion, while certainly your perogative, wasn't shared by your NJ peers company wide. The program wouldn't have gotten off the ground (or even out of the discussion phase, for that matter) if the need for it wasn't seen by the majority. For most families loss of income is a serious situation that is easier to deal with the longer they have to prepare. The program was created while thinking of NJ families most likely to need time to save money, pay off bills, make arrangements, etc. -- not the least likely to want the extra time.
Its obvious that you can't deal with the facts. All the facts were posted. Many pilots didn't bother casting a vote because they are tired of the BS. Our leader barely got 1/3 of the vote. A lot of us are really pissed off about how things are going right now. Its sad that you cannot see it.
I'm impressed by how many times I have heard the words "Fab 5" out of our pilots recently. People are seeing and understanding what is going on.
