I do not think that those that voted for the TA liked the work rule changes, but many weighed it for what it was and voted for it. We can be irritated with that fact, or we can reengage and make sure that the next time we are in that level of negotiations it adds more than a billion dollars over three years. I know what I want done.

I am sure that the next round of "all in" negotiations will prove the the viability of proactive engagement.
ACL, good points and added info. I'm hoping next time will be better as well. I think a good start would be a survey that doesn't include any "what would you be willing to give up for..." I can't recall if that was specifically in the survey, but I was left with a sense that was the tone in some parts.
