Cavalier,

Normally I copy pertinent parts of a post, but not this time. Boy, are you ratcheting up the rhetoric!! People are going to vote the way they see fit. In fact, what I have noticed is that with the events of the last few days, more guys are coming over to the NO side. There are NO guarantees even with an affirmative vote. We can all see that Dave simply goes into court and asks for yet another change to what we thought were iron-clad agreements.

Sorry, my vote is being cast as NO once again in a rational, sane and intelligent manner and is rather devoid of emotion. Let the pieces fall where they may, but I seriously doubt this is the end of the show.

Jetmechanic, since 1983, no court has abrogated a section 1113 letter, with AA trying last year to TWA and the judge said NO!

I realize I can't think for people, but I can state true facts

I have had people tell me they have switched to yes this time

I believe it will be close. Too many old timers still hanging around to let the younger guys blow it away, plus all the utility and store people

Good Luck Jet Mechanic

Folks,
As I posted previously, US Airways is at a critical juncture. Please do what is right for you but understand the actions that some would convey on these boards may inevitably lead to the demise of US Airways. While Cav and Chip take a lot of heat for what they post on these boards, as an industry-outsider and entrepreneur I CAN tell you that US Airways will find itself in DIRE straights on the 23rd when there's no DIP financing and no prospect for an ATSB loan. I truly hope this is not Eastern relived.

Good luck to all.
