Great little back and forth from May 2012 after the rumors of what was in TA2012 started:

Now I will read the TA with an open mind - once -.
If it is as disapointing as it sounds, I will vote twice. No and yes. I believe many fence sitters like myself will be voting the same way.
Again, I have always said that DALPA will meet their demise by their own hand. This folks is it. By negotiating this TA in this environment and passing it to us and saying this is the best we could do, is an insult.

I have always firmly supported DALPA and I never thought in reality I'd get a 45% pay raise. I am a realist. However, to take a 4% pay raise and get 2/3 of your previous profit sharing amounts to no pay raise at all. Surely it is obvious to them as well as everyone else. If when I receive the official TA it does amount to 4-8.5-3-3% with a 1/3 reduction in profit sharing then I will know that the rumors were true and the information was withheld to manage my expectations.
If these numbers are accurate I too will be voting NO for this TA. I have previously always voted YES.
