Same with SWA. So keep your Kumbyeyah high and keep doing what BIg Blue wants.

There's a huge difference. DAL had a choice in if they lost PS or not. WE DO NOT. They will take 5% PS away 8% raise or not.
Voting no on this does nothing but shoot ourselves in the foot. Take the money now... then take more later. To vote no is like saying hey thanks for taking my 5% and I don't want your other money cause I'm so mad at you!
I agree it's a wash, maybe a slight raise. It's definitely not an 8% raise, but to not take the raise is absurd. There is a big difference between an LOA and a TA. This is an LOA with a pay bump.
