I am voting yes. There is not going to be any more money that comes into the contract. The only thing we can do is shift the money around. If we feel strongly about changing one section, we are going to need to give back in other sections.

We already know that we are not getting 100% retro, so delaying the contract any longer is only taking money out of our pockets.

Once the retro is payed out, all those "experienced" captains will finally start retiring, creating movement all throughout the seniority list. For those who will be able to upgrade to captain, that's another 60% pay raise on top of the big pay raise from the TA. Some people can see their wages double.
