RC...like the attitude and wish I could do the same, but surprisingly to myself I will be voting yes. Do not like it, but I have to look at the big picture. If some think that we will get a better deal from the BK judge you should think again. I do not believe so. I would rather live to be a thorn in managements side, I kinda of enjoy it LOL. What the big picture to me says that we will be much more competative than what we have ever been. We also need to keep in mind that the other airlines are licking their chops wanting us to vote no so maybe the chance of liquidation comes in and they can swoop down like the vultures they are(No offense here to OA employees) and plus if this thing passes it takes the pressure of us and throws it back on OA. If management gets the concessions and loan OA becomes the one at the disadvantage not Usairways. We as CSA agents represented by CWA must choose to pick our battles and now is not the time....cannot wait until this modification of contract is over...that is the time for the battle.

As I have said earlier, in less than a year, guaranteed, either an office will entirely shut down or become dot com. In either case, hundreds of 20 an hr CS will be eliminated. If they make your office the dot com office, will you work for 13? Will you and others with roots txfr to Winston or PIT, even though they will likely not offer any transfers to GS? And if they don't offer transfers, is systemwide bumping going to occur?Your yes vote is YOUR vote, all I am saying is that it may accomplish a few more 20 an hour paychx, thats it. You're still screwed in the near term.
