That would give the company one more reason to finish the new contract in a timely manner. Just my thoughts.
I would say that big item issues, such as 30/7 relief, which the company wants, is something worth holding onto for negotiations.
As far as this TA, lets look at it then decide if this is worth voting in or out.
I for one, will assume its a "no" vote because I cant imagine a TA that would provide me the same pay that I currently get with contract language. So if crap is presented in this TA, it should be voted down and we can continue bidding for training for however many years to come, until a new contract is achieved.
I've done electronic recurrent ground, at my last airline, completely outside of a classroom and it is horrible! You will be craving Bruce's classroom and jokes when you are having to actually do the lessons and not "graded to 100"
