What's the point in having reps vote on a ta if sending it to us is a automatic pass through?
ftb-
I won't speak for any individual rep but I think I can summarize their reasoning.
Does the TA contain concessions? Absolutely.
But--
It is worth $1.1 billion over 3 years. That money is on the table right now.
Some reps felt that they could not deny that cash to the membership on their own. There's 12,000 Delta pilots. More than 19 guys need to make that call.
That's the logic. You can agree or disagree.
If we reject it can we get more? Maybe $1.5 billion? Can we get the concessions dropped or modified?
Some reps think yes. Some think no.
They passed it to us. Now its our call.
