[P]What amazes me in MCO is the people who scream NO!!!! have not even read the contract revisions. How can one make the choice to vote either yes or no without even knowing what is in the revised contract????? I just do not get it. Yes even though I am leaning towards a no vote, just need to get some clarifications to see what actually I vote...at least I have read it and have some understanding of it. I do believe some are going to vote no on the principal to try and screw the company.....however they do not grasp the reality is that if that is the only reason they vote no...they in turn are screwing themselves. At least I have a concern to look towards the no vote, that is the MAA/dot com question as I have posted in another section. Once I get the answer I am looking for THEN and only THEN will I vote.

[P]REVISIONS?? What revisions?The Agreement on website looks the same today as it did yesterday and there certainly aren't enough copies circulating around that we would have a chance to view any revisions..Shouldn't these revisions be posted on the web for all to see since there are not 7000 copies circulating on paper??There is also mis-info going around about taking an extra 2 days of pay away from everyone,not related to the holiday 2 day forfeiture, to make up for the JULY 1 retro paycut..I don't see anything like that at all!!! I read it as the 2 day holiday giveback of this years 11/27 and 28 are to be used as the payback for not taking a paycut back to JUL 1..is there any more clarification of this because several people are thinking scenario number 1, not my scenario.[/P]
[P] I also am totally convinced that USAIRWAYS has no plans to pay thousands of cust svc reps in excess of 20 an hour for the next 6 years, just to work as, in their words, unskilled dumb clerks or dumb tkt ctr agts/ramprats.The MDA is the beginning of the end for top tier jobs as is the INTERNET TECHY desk which will top at 13.00 an hour and probably replace over 1/2 the current rez force within a year, not 2 years,probably as soon as the schedule change mess is over and after the holiday rush, assuming there is one....It is my opinion the 20.00 an hr. offer is a temporary placating pile of bread crumbs meant to pacify the lemming masses who have no clue and who will sign to just about anything .. and who didn't bother to seek out or prepare for different employment over a year ago when this industry began its rapid descent into h-e-l-l..those folks will jump at anything not realizing the short and medium term effect of what this restructuring is all about.The union brass will gain lotsa members in the new deal(s), so they have nothing to worry about, they'll still get their money. Meanwhile there will be more res and csa furloguhs and hundreds if not thousands of others displaced to 13 an hour or less within a year or so. So it's still down to 2 tough choices...or are they easier choices now?[/P]
