Is accusing someone of being on FPL your best line of attack when someone thinks this TA might be okay to vote yes on. FYI: I'm still undecided. Leaning yes now.
Look, the concessions suck. I do not like the sick leave change or the LCA change. But we still get 14 days of sick leave no questions asked. And 270 a year for whatever you want with a note. Shouldn't affect anyone. If you need surgery get a note and get it done. If you're sick you're covered for 270. Sick leave has some improvements too.
LCA OE PBS pulls - an argument could be made that this is a big deal for FO's. They will have to judge that against the pay raise, etc. I'm not going to preach for this change. I don't like it.
The 5 cent a year change in per diem is based on 2% inflation. It basically stays the same. BFD. Lots to be concerned about but not per diem.
Bottom line: I like the $50,000 a year improvement and, while it's a tough call, I think this TA might be worth it.

To all the FO's out there, it's reasonable to assume this is not a unique position among CA's. My gut tells me most don't share this "MY raise offsets YOUR huge QOL hit", but it would be naive to think he's the only one. Discouraging to say the least.
