Until I see a TA to vote on, I really can't sit here and say what I will or will not vote for. A no vote will say to the company and DALPA that I think they can do better with the overall contract. A yes vote does not mean that I agree line by line with everything in a TA, just that I don't think that a continuation of the process will produce better results.

Stay engaged in what is going on with the negotiations so that when the time comes you can make an educated decision. That is really all any of us can do right now.
