QOL comes in all shapes and sizes. IIRC, when I said this pay raise would allow a pilot to drop a trip every other month (conservatively) and make the same money as s/he did last year, you said that was exactly your plan. IMO that is by far the biggest QOL gain that dwarfs any QOL losses.

It is my plan. Part of the plan requires my ability to manipulate my schedule, which will be more difficult under the TA. Trips pulled from open time will reduce that. Virtual bases will reduce that. I'm sure I will find a way to survive.
And the fact that we are retreating on SCOPE, SICK, and 3B4 doesn't help either. This sets us up poorly for the future.
