If it passes it passes. It'll be sad to leave Silver but that's what some of us will have to do to maintain our sanity and QOL.
You might remind as many people as you can that the intention of this is that it serves as a model for the rest of the industry according to Captain Daniel Wells. Don't want that either.
Some pilots are going to say "hey, were getting 9 out of 10 things we want. No contract is perfect so I guess we'll take it." But the problem is it will replicate like a virus throughout the industry.
