In order of priority, I would like to see this TA:

1) Held back until the pilots are polled;
2) Sent to the membership for ratification, to at least get validation that my fellow pilots, who never, ever seem to mention their intense yearning for SDP's can come halfway out of the closet and vote them in. It'll still be their secret, but we'll all be forced to respect the outcome;
3) Passed with a negotiated sunset provision, i.e. we agree to SDP's for a period of one year, and if the MEC doesn't make them permanent by mutal agreement with the company, we revert back to the status quo.

If this is such a pilot-friendly deal, surely a test-drive will convince us?
