I personally make more than anyone I know, and think I have a better job, also. I would like a greater pension and pay raise, however I am not willing to "lose everything" just to get a little better deal. I'm not sure how I'm going to vote until I actually see the TA, but so far a 30K immediate annual pay raise, a $35K+ bonus, and improved work rules look fairly attractive.

I don't think that voting NO means that you are going to "lose everything", and I'm not sure what you mean by that, or if it is hyperbole. Do you mean that we should be willing to lose our jobs to get a better deal? Because if you do, I think you stand with a very small crowd.
You're right, Bus. We should be happy with what they offer us. Why even have a union?
