Well, with 79% of the pilots voting in favor, it's hard for me to feel that management just took what they wanted.... An overwhelming majority vote like that makes it a difficult argument.

I appreciate your argument - and the fact that you're looking out for the pilots as a whole - but I'm trying to stay wildly positive and think that Pete Townsend was wrong ("Meet the new boss, same as the old boss...") and doesn't apply here. Oscar sure seems like a breath of fresh air (no pun intended.. ok, maybe a little!) - and while I realize that a CEO does not the entirety of management make - attitude is set from the top down.

Here's to hoping for your sake -- and ours as passengers too -- that things continue to improve drastically and rapidly!
