I'm a solid fear-free, happy with status quo, No phukkin way (thanks tumbleweed) vote. Easy, and probably bid to ER-A. This TA simply removes the benefit of being a money chasing and/or QOL chasing FO. This TA cements the reality that we are an un-appreciated number, not a person.

Deleted some of my further rant. Anyway, where's the congregation?
I'm one of the admins on the "Delta Pilots Against the Contract 2015 TA" group on facebook. I was added as an admin on Monday to help keep up with all the add requests. We had 400ish pilots on there at the time, if I recall correctly. Tonight we just passed 2100, or about 17% of the DAL pilot group (we're trying to verify everyone is actually a DAL pilot when adding them).

Facebook really isn't ideal. A lot of our guys don't have it, more have it but are still unfamiliar, and it's actually a pretty poor system for having a forum-like discussion. Posts are ordered by whatever has been commented on most recently, and so some really important and well-written posts quickly fall out of sight.

I'd suggest starting with the Files link where you'll find the TA language, various NNPs, the several con papers (I wrote the Master Concession List but the Council 1 TA Summary is more comprehensive and includes both pros and cons), roadshow schedule, etc. If you go to the Photos link, it's mostly amusing memes people have come up with, but there are several video clips of Ranting Mike posted there. Otherwise, under Discussions, I'd suggest scrolling down and reading the ones with 30+ likes, they tend to be the most interesting ones (there are several with 100+).
