Rock, of course future negotiations will be tenuous if this is voted down. They were tenuous before the NC agreed on this TA. Negotiations are always tenuous, especially if we want improvements.

I have no delusions that if this is voted down that things won't heat up
again as we try for TA part II.

But for a Block Rep to suggest or communicate that we should vote this in and then expect that ALPA will continue to improve the Retirement section outside of Section 6 is Ludicrous. Why would Management do that? They have a 6 year deal if this passes?

I won't attempt to sway you or anyone's vote. Vote how you see fit.
I just hope you vote based on what is written in the TA. If you think this is Good enough, Vote in favor of it.

But, for anyone who expects a further Negotiated improvements after this TA is passed (i.e. outside of section 6) is plain naive.
