I can't blame the union reps (even though I'm not happy) if we don't vote no. If the company and the mediator are mostly confident that a proposal will pass what incentive do they have to push any further? At least until we collectively give them a reason it is done. If you feel a little disappointed in this deal I guess you need to ask yourself do you think the company is also a little disappointed in this deal? Is the company hoping the pilots will vote No, so they can either stall or negotiate a better position? If one side is comfortable and satisfied, and the other side is disappointed it is a lop sided deal. A fair deal is probably one both sides are a little disappointed.

Also, I don't understand why someone would vote yes to something they already know is not good simply because they are uncertain the alternative of trying a little more might not work out. It is not like this TA made such massive gains that I'm worried about losing it.
