I personally felt the cons far outweighed the pros.
I voted yes after reading the TA in its entirety several times, before the MEC sales job and before any RA fear mongering. The sick leave, JV provisions, and LCA trip concessions were not sufficiently onerous IMO to vote no, and I was content with the pay picture - - even with the hit to profit sharing. Obviously I am in a distinct minority.
Anyway, the ship has sailed and I will not look back. I 100% hope that my opinions are proven wrong in the course of future events. I agree wholeheartedly that the system and the process worked very well with this TA. It is beyond apparent that our MEC and negotiators did not properly represent the will of the majority.
