Lots of hotheads promised a quick turn, one even said we'd get a better deal in 48 hours, some "no" voting reps promised us up to 3% whenever the non contracts get a raise (that was false, we got zero). At DAL we have not seen a single nickle of negotiated improvements one year after the rejection. As a result of our "no" vote we went from the highest paid legacy to the lowest. On the bright side, we'll have 5% more profit sharing on 14% less earnings to look forward to, a handful of additional F/Os will get trips bought off for line checks. The average narrow-body captain will make about $30k less this year than he would have with the TA.

If you vote no, do it with your eyes wide open to the very real possibility that it could take several years to get another TA. Good luck to you guys.
