XJ TA may be voted down

[xjgearbtch]

There is a ton of grumbling on the line. Talk of taking the hard road. When the TA first came out it could of passed, now with time it looks like many are changing their minds.

Anyone else catching this vibe in MSP and MEM?

Lots of Pinnacle guys walked with you guys to support you, to support each other, to support pilots everywhere, and to try to stop the whipsaw between Pinnacle and Mesaba. They walked to show their support.... show support to those who supported you by not voting for a concessonary contract. It will only hurt both airlines in the long run.

Every pilot at NWA mainline says they voted no on the contract.

Sounds familiar. Just like the 2004 contract at XJ.

It will pass by a margin over 65%.

TALK about voting it down as much as you want.... it is a lot different when it comes time to check the box... yes or no. Yes--you have a job and can continue to complain about how much life sucks and how you definately voted against the TA... NO---you risk not having a job, and being out on the street. Voting no for most people is difficult/impossible even though on paper it seems like the right thing to do.

Who cares what anyone "hears might be going on with the TA at XJ" the bottom line is that nobody knows until the votes are in, counted, recounted, and then a decision is made.

That is like saying, "hey I heard that Hillary Clinton is going to win the election in 2008" (If this happens hell will freeze over and the world will end.... but its just an example.) Good luck to all the guys at XJ!!

I say it'll pass by 75-85%.

There is a vocal minority, but it the same 10-12 pissed off union haters that are making all the noise.
I flew with a guy last week that was voting NO. (Tom W recomended it so Iam voting No.) end of conversation not willing to vote for anything Tom recomends.
It is the 500 guys that have made no noise that will vote Yes.

FYI there is only about 580 pilots not furloughed that will be voting.
