I could go on for days, but I don't have the time. This TA is a piece of junk, and it'll never fly.
Much of your proposed contract changes appear to be what the UAL pilots currently work under. Some as a result of the two bankruptcy modifications and some were in place beforehand, the crew augmentation issue being one.
I’ll be very surprised if the T/A fails, but of course a lot depends on what and how your MEC handles the tentative.
Still, my $$$ is on it passing.
