I don't agree with that. I think, when placed side by side, the failed TA was worse than C2012 in a number of areas. That is exactly why it was voted down.
I think the vast majority of pilots are realists. They want that esoteric perfect contract but are savvy enough to realize they aren't going to get it. But they can sure smell a turd when one shows up. So it comes down to a decision based on compromise and where do we go if this gets voted down? No matter which way anyone votes, this is a business decision not an emotional one.
