If i am to sell this TA, i will make sure to let the 50+ group knows the significance of the term "time value", threatening them if we dont sign right now, it will be dragged out.

To the bottom guys, they will show us the carrots of new aircraft orders, saying the board wont authorize any deal until we have a TA. Again, if they want to buy crj900, we have the payscale to fly them.

To me, i think they kinda miss the mark in offering anything worth considering for the 40-50 group, the new Captain or senior FO range.

Its very dangerous for our group to present a vote that shows division. If this TA fails, it has to be by a big margin. Mgmt cannot be shown how the votes are tallied, so that they can target a specific audience to get to the magic 50%+1 votes needed.
