All coming out of of the same airplane's time, probably. The more junior it goes, the worse it is for the senior. The more senior it goes, the worse for the junior. Regardless, it will reduce the positions in category, which is always a bad thing from a standpoint of variety. Say what you will about the -88, but it is a large category which in and of itself allows flexibilities and variety not available on fleets with smaller numbers.

...and folks, this isn't a "panties in a wad" thing. Pretty discouraging to see the dismissiveness of a constructive thread discussion on one factors of the TA. The destructive attitudes within the union are not limited to DPA zealots or the people who always vote no. Combine this with the sick loss of voluntary verification, OOB yellow slips on days off, [I]merit[I] based extra vacation, alv change and a host of others--there are plenty of "no" issues in the agreement. They are not sufficient to warrant a no vote on my end and put at risk that which was achieved IMO, especially if VB gets killed immediately. At the same time, I can certainly respect an informed no vote without having to denigrate the voter.

Thug behavior...doesn't just exist with DPA supporters
