Original Message The bankruptcy was most certainly timed to take advantage of the contract bargaining. They aren't stupid. It was a gamble though as a strike could easily have been the end of the company. Fortunately, a majority of us realized this. I would guess many of the no votes were people that just didn't like being put in that position. I haven't heard one person say what specifically they would change. More money? Forget it. Better benefits? They are already pretty good. One thing about helicopter pilots is that many will vote against their own interests just to prove a point. Pragmatism is not a quality seen in many helicopter pilots. |
