I have to give the airline a chance to survive, so I signed my name to the paper, took a ballot, crossed the top box (yes) on the ballot, and inserted the slip into the ballot box.
I made up my mind last night...I was leaning towards a NO vote, had enough of bailing management out, loged onto this BB, and started reading how a non-ual mechanic is trying to tell us all to vote NO just to save his own payrates at his airline. This guy, did not care that a no vote could lead to BK, nahhhhhh....better yet, he said its a better option. He did not care BK would lead to layoffs, ten-fold of what we are seeing now. He did not care that Indy could close, he did not care that our medical benifits (which have not changed in this T/A) could all be switched to a 80% match plan, that we have to pay $90 a month for familly coverage. No, no $25 for surgury, if it cost $10,000, insurance will pay 8, you pay $2000. Hmmm, 25 or 2000?????????? We still get our retro check, wow, everybody thought that was gone, FOR SURE! So thats a plus. So this guy with his better option is thinking of himself and only that.
Mr Bob,
Please tell me something. Do you think voting no is going to make United just say, well, even if we file BK we will not cut the mechanics pay, because they said they dont want it cut. HAAAAAAA......If United files BK, you can bet we will be taking a even BIGGER cut, and guess what, we dont have a choice then. Then guess what will happen, American will do the same damn thing or file for BK also. Then Delta will say the same, and the Delta mechanics dont get a vote.
I was willing to take the risk and vote no, but seeing you with your GREED, leting us fall for you to gain, I went to the table today, and said softley to myself, this is for you Bob, as I marked the YES box.
