Thanks for the well articulated post. I am in agreement. Sure we would all like more, but the 18-24 months (IMHO) it would take for TA2 would likely not have enough improvements to compensate for the time delay. Agreeing to the TA does not take further negotiations/improvements out of the options box, it merely allows us to continue moving forward. Just like investing, slow and steady wins the race. Betting on a high flying investment (like betting on a vastly improved A plan) is risky and statistically unlikely to pay off.
BTW thanks for posting the link on the pension history. I will read it shortly on my next DH.
