Aside from the money, I see small improvements but big give backs. T asked how it hits QOL. JV scope will reduce the number of WB jobs, period dot. Now I don't plan to fly one of those but every WB CA job not there is a senior NB FO sitting at the top of my category, that hurts my QOL. You can't argue in any coherent way that the TA sick policy is better than our current one (not the TA1 overreach, don't throw that red herring). OE trip pulls is a negative. It will limit them or at the least take trips of open time thus reducing ones ability to manipulate the his schedule. QOL hit.

Those big three there, to me, outweigh the small improvements. Even it they are a wash, you can't say this TA is "significantly superior" to what we have.

Is the money worth the downward trend and the lowered base from which to negotiate the next contract? I think that depends on how long you have left.
