Why do you think that is (the sales job)? They're that proud of the product that they just slowly take ownership of it, like a proud parent that just cut the umbillical cord? I've never understood it. The product should speak for itself. I don't even see the point in an "official" pro-con paper.

I suppose the reps can't simply disappear when a T/A is reached. People have questions/comments. So I suppose that, by default, they argue in favor of something they just voted to pass on to the membership.

Still, my experience has been that there is always a strong, obvious commitment to getting a T/A passed. Why is that necessary?
I feel exactly the same way. In fact, I don't think I could have said it better.

I dont read the TA like an english teacher trying to grade it. I read it as a pilot trying to figure out what it means.

However, even with that approach, the lawyers seem to be able to find a way around anything and/or (if there is a super good deal) DALPA gives them relief.
