TOGA!
Feel free to support that with some details?
I find it interesting that some proponents of rejecting this TA have thrown out anything from 4 months to 1 year to achieve yet another TA. Sure it's anyones best guess, but the idea that this TA that took more than 4 years to achieve will be tossed to the trash bin and we will establish a new NC, possibly new committee's, and perhaps even a partial or full replacement of the MEC. THEN, survey, poll, and re-negotiate another complete TA within one year is mind boggling.
Let's just say the deal will take probably more time than anyone of us will find reasonable. Unless of course you FEAR to discuss how long it may really take?
So I think it may feel good to say all the YES voters are reacting to fear, but after speaking to many, it's an educated opinion based on the facts, risk assessment, and a high level of knowledge of failed TA's in previous airline labor deals. I have yet to find a pilot quivering in fear about the outcome.
