A major issue for me is that if we sign off on this thing, it becomes the new baseline.

We can't gripe about our crap rates "due to bankruptcy" if we allow this TA to pass--we would have endorsed a cost-neutral contract when the company is poised to make $2 billion!

To the guys who (once again) say "this sets us up nicely for the next contract", well, if we can't do it when the company's about to make billions, we won't do it next time, either.

We are throwing away our last chance to set ourselves up to reclaim our pre-BK QOL.
