Like I say, not a labor lawyer.
Same thing happened to Pinnacle a few years ago with a crap TA1 that was put to the pilots for vote, they (ALPA) tried to sell the crap sandwich to the pilots via roadshows, it also was the company's last, best and final offer. At the roadshows everyone could tell the MEC chairman and a few others were not in favor of the TA, however they couldn't come out and say vote no, but it was pretty obvious they torpedoed the TA and it got voted down by the pilots. Looking back, we should have probably voted yes for that TA, we would made a lot more money and been way better off then waiting 6+ years for a contract.
