2 years from today we finally have a TA. It has:

* 5hr min day.
* 1% increase in dc. No Scope changes. Status quo there.
The MEC says: "This is the best we can get! If we don't take it we will get parked for an indefinite amount of time and we will never be allowed to strike. We have no leverage, We strongley recommend you all vote for this and and take the deal on the table."
They follow with, "if you vote this down the neg. comm. will quite and we will be looking at years before we can move on anything again."
Are people irrate or do they hang there head and after a full does of spin and sell and vote for it?
Or, do they re-new cards and send new ones in in record volume?
Dude... seriously? We could what if this kind of nonsense all day long, and get right back where we started.
The real question you need to ask yourself is whether you really think DPA would get any better results. It matters not (to an extent) what the NC brings to us as a TA. The real issue is how/why are you so convinced that DPA would do any better.
