Some of these guys are totally clueless about what they support.
If we want this to be voted down, we still have a lot of guys to convince the deal stinks. I wasn't going to go to a roadshow to listen to the sales job, but we all need to turn out on droves or the only topics that will be covered are the two good points of the TA. You know they aren't going to bring up the concessions unless someone in the audience throws them out.
Many captains will look out for number one. Not everyone is interested in the greater good. That said, there's a bunch of stuff that will certainly screw captains in this TA. I would detail those items when speaking with them.
