You tie your hands with this new TA. This isn't about throwing a specific concession at you to see what sticks, its about the whole package. If you look at only the money you miss a lot of the important details that youre voluntarily giving up without any pushback whatsoever.
Prediction: You and I are going to have this conversation again in 2018. And I'll remind you in 2018 that this is the year to stand up for yourself. And in 2018, you'll come up with more reasons to take the first deal. Ok lets seal that in the vault and revisit in 3 years
I'll do you one better, and save you having to wait until 2018. Search some of my posts from this same conversation 3 years ago and you will see my outlook has not changed. If anything C2012 solidified my way of thinking on this.
There were pilots just like you worried about all kinds of things in 2012 - in fact they were sick, profit sharing and scope. I'd say it's turned out just fine. If the No's carry the day, I will support the will of the majority. There is a lot of that out there. We may finally get to see what that strategy looks like. Not my preference but it would be interesting to see if play out.
