The emotional yes vote is the one that worries about the future if this is voted down. If you don't like it now, you really won't like it over the next 10 years! FedEx has show us even in soft or poor economies that 3% is a raise we will get (reference the two bridge contracts recently). The NC chairman references 3% as the norm in his videos too.

If this TA is turned down, expect 3% to be preserved as a typical raise amount. The money that will be lost is the new, higher bonus which won't quite reflect 3%--just like this one didn't. If someone is voting yes just because they will lose some money if they vote no, I guess nothing will sway them.

My Die Trying, work rules given up, and QOL given up are much more important to me than some $$s. I'm living fine now and am not so bad off that I'm willing to trade QOL for $$. I don't know what the economy will do, I don't know if the next TA will be one I like either, but I KNOW this is a TA I don't like.
