This is my prediction. After seeing how toxic this agreement is to the pilots, management will walk back a couple items and insert another to take it's place. The union will again repeat "this is the best deal you will ever get and no way is it getting better, take the deal now!". Some will cave. Others will patiently wait for the right deal even if it includes the traditional contract negotiation track.
The question is, can management get enough votes to reach that illustrious 51%? They were smart to ask for the sun, moon and stars (in collaboration with their ALPA sales team). If they throw a couple bones back and get to yes they still knocked it out of the park. Not exactly the same but reference the CDO walkback exchanged for another hit to reserve call out times.
