I hate to be a Debbie Downer on this topic, but this will absolutely not happen. When we finally do get a TA, the NC will have spent months, countless hours and much blood, sweat and tears producing a contract acceptable to the company and worthy of presentation to the pilots. The last thing they will do is tell you what's wrong with it.
We went through the same demands at NWA in '98. The TA roadshows then were about selling the TA. The "negative" comments amounted to something like "Well, we would've liked a bigger payraise, but we could'nt get it."
Any negatives regarding the TA will only come from people other than ALPA. Hopefully they, and any explanations from ALPA, will wind up on this forum.
