Perhaps my estimate was a bit too high. But I've seen enough pre-vote sturm und drang like this to know the TA will pass.
Why? Because even though you Internet warriors are all fired up, the average pilot is non-confrontational by nature and will eat a bad contract to avoid the alternative.
The best joke: Once it passes, you won't be able to find a single pilot who admits voting for it.
