Certainly.

However, if that number is in the ballpark, it will greatly impede our ability to negotiate a contract anywhere near "restoration." Or much more than "cost neutral," for that matter.

If it's just a matter of convincing a small number of "non-automatic" folks to accept a mediocre TA, we'll see more of these mediocre TAs (and more full-bore sales jobs from the company/DALPA sharpshooting a very small demographic). It's the path of least resistance.
