If that is accurate about who voted for/against putting the language into TA format, I wonder if it is specifically because of whom they are representing. For example, blocks 1 and 2 might turn down almost anything without an A fund increase, as they are representing people who could be retiring very soon, and that is the one thing that affects them the most. Instructor and HKG blocks may have very specific interests that do not affect the other blocks, in general (unless they are still attempting to replace line pilot instructors, which affects us all). No clue about block 6.

I'm not making commentary on how people should/should not vote, since obviously the rest of us have no idea of what they are looking at. I am just speculating on why some blocks might vote against when then others voted for. Different blocks=different interests.
