See above.
I guess the problem is I read the TA and not the contrails.
But if you're going to argue that "that's not realistic" you're actually doing just the opposite. The only thing that is reality is the PWA, everything else is fantasy. If you leave the gate open, they'll stampede through it. Hell, with the RAH thing a few years we've seen the gate locked shut and DALPA legal team go and open for them and explain the gate wasn't really locked to begin with.
You should stick to your day job. There is a lot of enforceable language that is contained in the negotiators notes and side letters. The medical release letters were one example. This is another. It was explained at the road shows. Bottom line is that in your situation, the trip would NOT have been withheld under either the current of the rejected agreement. When you argue otherwise, you are selling fear. And you are wrong. You missed the boat on this one. Admit it and move on.
