Guys who vote yes on this TA as is are not too bright, all the DALPA cheerleading not withstanding. There is more to be gained in this contract given what management stands to gain. Some people believe everything they are told though, including company supplied numbers (those given to DALPA to disseminate).
It's too bad because we likely will have to live with the set backs in this contract for a very long time (we are giving up what leverage we have. The next round we will likely be ignored by management).
