A "No" vote may not be justified by some kind of Kumbaya or quid pro quo collectivism; however, I think it could easily be justified by rational self-interest. You won't get a standing ovation as you walk past other regional crews in the airport, and no one is going to refuse to fly airplanes transferred during a bankruptcy, but a year or two down the road, after an unfortunate lateral move, you may find RJ wages a little more livable if you're working under a contract that was negotiated under more favorable conditions instead of a concessionary deal that was influenced by the downward pressure of this TA. No one has a crystal ball, but I would try to take a long-term view and ask myself if the passage of this TA would be, on the whole, beneficial or detrimental to my career in five or ten year's time.
