My sincerest condolences to all those who voted to keep the union.
I don't see anything terribly immediate on the horizon for a lot of pilots over your way simply because reducing the compensation package at a time when finding qualified pilots is tough wouldn't be a brilliant move. However, I don't think it'll be too terribly long before KR starts making things worse for everyone.
It'll be slowly. Maybe a change in schedule which adds a few workdays here and there over the year for no extra pay. More out of seniority upgrades. Various firings which will "coincidentally" be the strongest union supporters (or union leadership). Lots of little stuff that will add up to a much worse working environment. On the flip side, some of the biggest FOK's will be rewarded.
Worst part is, WHEN a lot more people realize oops, we do need a union! there isn't a union out there who will ever touch you again. Ever. Congrats to Ricci. You are now forever and permanently a non-union shop. Sorry, but unless you increase your seniority list to somewhere north of 1500 pilots, you won't have enough for an in-house union unless everyone wants to pay a very large sum of their paychecks as dues.
Good luck over there! The consequences of this are going to be worse than anticipated. As the first unionized pilot group to decert, EVER, the industry won't be kind to you, even if at least 220 of you don't deserve it. There's already talk of at least one major airline blackballing anyone from Flex/FLOPS from being hired there. I don't know if it's true, but it's not out of the realm of possibility. The example needs to be set that decertifying is not something the industry pilots want to take hold.
Don't shoot the messenger. I'm only relaying the background chatter. But yes, I do think the yes voters just took a big shotgun to your own feet. Again, good luck.
