The junior guys who voted against the TA are upset because we were right, while I do get paid more now, we gave up jobs! We were sold a bill of goods by a feckless MEC that cannot or will not stand up for the jobs it is supposed to protect.
The real talking point here is that your position was in the minority.

94% of the pilots voted. 62% voted in favor.
The MEC voted 14-5 in favor of a TA produced by their unanimously elected Negotiating Committee.

The rest of your post is an acknowledgement of our control freakish nature.

feckless...really?
