Pilot Poll - MOU

[ChockJockey]

Anonymous poll. Pilots only please, for the sake of accuracy. Since it is anonymous, and trolls will likely vote anyway, it will not of course be scientific but it may be more useful than trying to discern anything from the vile cauldron which is the pilots' thread.

Purposefully omitted. Just as in the actual vote when you make it, the degree of your sentiment is entirely irrelevant.

Ah but the degree of sentiment is directly proportional to the cost of closing the gap to achieve a yes, and it may also be directly proportional to the overfly that occurs during the month.

I have yet to hear from the BPR why we should vote no.

Because they say so and they're smarter than us.

Parker didnt need or want bad news during merger talks, a pilot group on his side would be seen as good news, a no vote would be seen as bad news to investors. So, if the BPR recomends a no vote, Parker couldnt take the chance, so he pulled it. Thus Thank You BPR, this pilot group hasent ever seen a payraise they couldnt foul up....

No one could truly be THAT obtuse! If poor, downtrodden Mr. Parker was at ALL concerned as you suggest...then; why not simply put forward something actually decent and unquestionably acceptable to the employee group? You want people waving pom poms...then at least send 'em some decent looking cheerleader uniforms. "Thank You BPR" my arse. Place your "thanks" where they deserve to be set = Parker et al.

If Parker had offered a pay raise for all USAir pilots, or even about 60% of them maybe, he would have had no fear of the MOU being rejected, and would not have felt he needed to pull it.

The fact that he pulled the MOU shows he is either in way over his head, or he planned it only as a wedge between the BPR and the membership.

I think at a minimum the BPR should conduct a scientific poll to determine pilot sentiments about the concessions contained in the MOU, if not actually send out the MOU for a vote of confidence.
