I keep hearing guys on the bus who know nothing about the TA and yet they are eager to vote for it. When I ask them why they say stuff like can't wait for the "bonus", if it is good enough for the negotiating committee then I'm voting yes or they just can't wait to get the pay raise or they are tired of years of negotiating. Let this be a lesson to the union, starting earlier doesn't make the end any faster and it wears out the crewforce, when you vote Yes many people simply just listen to you, and finally quit calling back pay a bonus find some other term more reflective of what it actually is "what we should have already been paid". You need to explain in clear, concise language what the changes are, not just put it in different color font. Can't express how disappointed in the union I am after all this time and money spent they would actually try and sell us this turd as the best deal they could get. Seriously another contract extension with many concessions and a few meager gains and huge long term losses (healthcare costs, A plan still capped and losing value every year) is completely unacceptable to me. Somebody please save us from ourselves.
