That set us up for a much better TA which May be within reach.
I find it ironic that the "No" side now appears to be overreaching, which may in fact prove the initial TA supporters correct - That if we vote down a TA we will be in limbo for years.
We are not that far apart and have have a few tough issues to work out. As someone else posted a fair deal is more than just pay ending up north of splitting the difference.
Its pretty simple - If the deal is once again sub-standard it will not pass. If the deal is good enough it will pass.
I have said it before and I will say it again - I trust the collective wisdom of 13,000+ Pilots more than any 1 single Pilot, more than the MEC (TA-1 validated this) and even more than myself.
I think we are within reach of a deal that can pass memory rat.

You're on fire, Scoop! Another great post.
I remember once upon a time, when the forum was just a low-grade sort of crazy, where I could write a consensus post, and not get ad-hominemed to death. Props to you, that you still can.
