The better analogy would be after some torturous negotiating at the dealer you came out with the Passat and your wife was still upset about what you got.

That doesn't mean that no voters are wrong. I highly respect their votes so long as they read the language and decide that only a no vote is warranted. I just fell that our imperfect TA today is still the "least bad" option.

I respect other opinions however. And guess what? If the TA is rejected (which I don't think will happen) the world will still go on and DAL will still make money. I just think our options are slightly brigher over the next three years if the TA passes.
Disagree. if they were truly a buyer agent, they would be telling us what the pitfalls of the agreement and ordering a house inspection. Instead DALPA is singing the praises of this TA to the rafters and there are apparently no flaws.

I guess when the porch falls down and the place gets tented for termites we'll know better next time.

I don't doubt this thing will pass and I will always remember that most on here are keyboard warriors not actual advocates. All of the tough talk from before the year started and when we're offered 4%, we cream our jeans and sell the first born to get the deal. Oh well. C'est la Vie!
