Firsttimeflyer, this is the spin zone, not the logic zone. There's a whole big 'ol boatload of politics behind the MEC vote and divided opinions on the TA. It's best to read the TA (or any other matter to vote on) and form your own opinion absent MEC opinions. Once you've formed an opinion, critically read the opinion of those with a different view than yours. If there aren't any holes in their opinion, reevaluate your opinion. Able to find holes? It's usually politics.

Wrong! It's 86%, they cave on all work rules, and all NSNB pay rates will be banded with the A319 rates. And it's 3 business days, not 5.
I don't want a pony; they crap all over the place.
