So basically any money now would have been your rational to give up everything else in the contract? This is not a decision to be taken lightly. There are so many strings attached to this TA why risk it?
"Destroy the next 30 years of your life?"
If a poor TA defines your happiness or lack thereof perhaps you need to reexamine what motivates you in life.
I hope this TA fails, and then we go back and fix what is lacking. That may take some time I admit.
But even if it passes I won't stake my own well being on it.
In fact if it passes two years from now half the no voters will hardly remember... which is how it always is (I still remember a captain swearing he was quitting ALPA due to the extreme concessions of now-revered C2K).
