There are some here that believe their quality of life improves with this LOA, and for some, maybe it does. This is not necessarily a black and white concession.

Second, perhaps I'm missing something, but unless you were on first year pay (which further proves my point that the junior guys got fukced), your pay went up. Yeah the junior guys got a higher bonus to help offset the anal fisting they took, but for the run of the contract they were sold out by guys that had 7+ yrs of seniority.
I don't disagree with any of that, my point was I took 5 days off to bore holes in the concrete on US1 to get the lower end of the seniority list more money, while losing some myself.

Counter-counter point: Anyone here now that will be voting on the upcoming TA will have at least 5 years in before casting that vote. How much of that dreaded seniority at your legacy are you willing to give up while you're waiting?
