Not really. Everyone is free to negotiate/vote independently. If Smizek wants to argue that this TA is what makes him want RJ's, it's up to the UCal pilots to remind him a crack addict wants crack all day long, not just when they watch the Chapelle Show.

But let's assume you're right, and we should negotiate for one another... Then the UCal pilots have really screwed us by not getting, in a timely manner, a contract with good pay and even better Scope for us to pattern over.

Feels like they have been waiting for us to take the lead. In which case they're not in a great position to tell us what to do. Some have offered an opinion, and I think it's fine, but Zoomie's decided to insert himself into the discussion beyond the reasonable, and into troll territory.
