Don't take this as koolaid or whatever else you guys are gonna jump down my throat for. It is a FACT. The bar gets lowered either way due to PSA taking concessions, or more jobs(more acft to bring down avgs) going to bottom feeder contract airlines.
I'm still a no, but no matter what this situation sucks for PSA, regardless of the outcome.
I know its easy for you STW, pound your chest in management's face types to say....."hold the line." However, when it is YOUR job/family/livelihood/food on the table out there for a vote, its not as easy a choice as you all make it out to be. I know this because I was one of those chest pounders. So you can all quit with the "friendly advice."
Do you realize by passing this TA, you end up making less money? How can you feed yourself and family while making less money.
