Absolutely agreed. Counting on DRF trips to cover lost retirement and healthcare increases does not sound right to me either. But, we each have our own way of looking at this TA, depending on our seat, seniority, base, future expectations, jaded-ness with previous negotiations, etc...
Truth is, we should not even be having this discussion. The TA should not have been presented to us without the big cornerstone openers met, not when so much is in our favor. Moot point, it's in front of us now, and our only path forward to fighting for a Section 28 that recognizes the financial success of this company, is rejecting this TA.
All LEC's, even the NC, have admitted that our Section 28 is NO GOOD. That is one of, if not THE, biggest sections.
