While I'm as anxious as the rest of you to see the TA I'm encouraged by the fact that the MEC is meeting every day (including through the weekend) to tear this thing apart. Remember, they have a whole bunch of subject matter experts (Retirement, Health Care, Work Rules, etc) to help them interpret the new contract. Lest we forget, our current PWA (with all the integrated LOAs) is 500 pages. I wouldn't want to cast a vote yea or nay without reading it through at least once. While I'm cautiously optimistic I believe this contract is very borderline (positives and negatives), not a slam dunk either way, and it's going to be very close as to whether it passes (although I think the MEC does want a consensus that either passes with a vast majority of the MEC and they can get behind it once passes (warts and all) or a unanimous rejection to send back to the NC and the company. It's also possible they're trying to tweak some of the areas to make them a little better. They really don't want to take a chance of sending it for Memrat and losing 51-49. They need to believe that they can get a minimum of 60% (preferably 65-70) before sending it forward. While I originally thought we would see it today it looks like they're going to take the full 7 days - I guess we'll all have to be patient.
