Pros:

-Flow (especially for those who want to go to a legacy carrier but couldn't because either they didn't have a college degree or didn't fit the BS hiring profile)
- There's some commitment to a future by AAG for PDT pilots
- mods to CBA only happen with jets, we get flow from DOS regardless
Cons:

-Pay scales are cut and paste of PSA large RJ rates
-Pay caps at 12/4 with no grandfathering scales for jets, only for the dash which won't be around in 3-4 years anyway
-healthcare rates jacked up
-vacation goes to 4.2 hrs per day instead of pay for dropped trip, in most cases you will lose a few hours of pay per slot over this.
-sick acrual 3.5 per month instead of 4
-the fact we are doing the opposite of stopping the whipsaw and piling on damage done to the regional industry by the likes of PSA, Endeavor, GoJets, Republic and the likes.
-the chance that AAG will transfer Envoy a/c (145s) to piedmont in the interim
of 175 deliveries to get us started on our CBA mods and to get jets on the operating cert.

That said, I'm fairly confident this TA will pass with over 70% in favor.
