I've only talked to about 6 or 8 other pilots about the TA, but all are leaning towards a yes vote. I initially thought we could negotiate more in terms of compensation, but after factoring in other enhancements, I am also leaning yes. I admit to not understanding scope issues as well as I should and basically trusting that the company doesn't have a deceptive intention in the scope changes of this TA. The raise is significant to me over the 3 years. The ability to lock in the gain and negotiate again in 3 years is appealing. The enhancements to reserve are significant for me. I believe the TA is a good faith effort on the part of the company and our union leadership. It's not the major issue, but I think there is a cost associated with rejecting an offer if the parties that negotiated it (union leadership and management) believe it's fair. Unless I see compelling evidence to the contrary, I'll probably vote yes.
