That certainly could be the case in your area but I believe that in my area that we will have peace and quiet after the vote on August 7th, most of the people I have talked to don't really care about the merger because they don't believe that Employee's will benefit from it, I think that is probably the case once we have a contract it's doubtful a merger will do anything to help Employee's in my opinion, I really don't see how it could.

Your new owners might not want a maintenance base.

I voted YES on the first day because it is what is right for me & my family you vote whatever way works for you, I will not be voting your way, I believe everyone else will also be voting for what is right for them as they should and only they can decide what is right for them not me or you, i'm not worried about this vote because I am sure that it will pass that is just my gut feeling after talking to others, if after it passes you cannot live with it then you are free to find a better job at another company, your choice.
I for one can't wait till August 7th and all this is over, no more arguing about it or guessing what will happen it will be over and we can move on to at least 6 years of peace and quiet, really looking forward to that.
1AA I agree the judge will not abrogate because we will have a 6 year contract this one in my opinion isn't hard to guess.

I believe you are wrong about the part I highlighted.
The die-hard NO voters will vote NO, same with the die-hard YES voters no matter what.
The majority will bow down and vote the way their wife/girlfriend/boyfriend/husband tells them to.

Oh brother you are disillusioned. We will never have peace. I am convinced your a union stooge trying to sell a yes vote. Too bad you have no support for a yes vote here. I am confident from all that I am gathering from this site and my contacts throughout the system that this will not pass. It might be close but it will not pass.
Unless someone pulls a fast one like signing off on it regardless.

Sure that's the definition of voting what's right for you, in other words I doubt very seriously that someone is going to vote in a way that they feel is not in their best interest simply because someone told them too.

Your new owners might not want a maintenance base.

Maybe not & if that is the case then I guess we will all find new jobs, all you can do is what you can do which is vote, hopefully everyone will vote this time.

Do you really think that by me saying I am voting yes without even giving a reason it will convince someone else to vote yes ? If you do then your the only one who thinks that, I certainly do not believe that in fact I already said I believe everyone will vote for their own interest and won't care how others are voting or how others tell them to vote.
I think that the line stations will vote no but I believe their are a lot more yes votes in Tulsa than you think their are, Tulsa usually does pass contracts I knew the last one wouldn't pass for several reasons but this contract is very different than the last one and I think that is will pass for that reason, 7 days from now we will know and can move on at that point, i'm just glad to have a job for however long it lasts.
I also believe the 514 road show will make a difference in the vote.

Very few changing there vote to yes lots changing there vote to no but don't tell the yes voters they tend to tear up when they hear that.

 

[whatajoke]

Either way this goes their will be carnage and maybe at all levels so there is some real sharing of the pain.
management took all the gain.

See? We can agree on something after all. I am thinking that the road show is making people angry. Also the fact that they admitted that there are going to be many jobs lost as the new airplanes arrive. Unless you have over 25 years at AA (Occupational seniority) you will be out of a job with in 3 years (estimating) if this passes. If it fails you will have a CHANCE to have a job in 3 years. Simple as that. Mr. Hewett and Mr. Bunch did not deny that AA would lay off more as new acft arrive. But denial ain't just a river in Egypt.

I heard that during the 2003 concession, I personally couldn't find anyone who voted for it but it passed, I am still confused as to how it passed when no one voted for it, I suspect this will be the same no one will admit to voting for it but it will still pass.
Personally I wish we would have only had 5 days to vote that's long enough, 2 weeks is to long at least we only have 7 days left.

They are stomping for their job.\ and also doing what this base elected them to do.

I voted for it. and management misguided all of our sacrifices. that is why I am a no vote this time they will have to take it which they will without saying thank you.
