I don't see endless threads about the compensation or even real concern for such. What I do see are a lot of pilots worried about the language, rescheduling, no rigs for up to a year with no transition, loss of drops, etc that appear will have a largely negative effect on our lives. I don't expect to ever get 'back pay' but I do expect to maintain the same, more or less, QOL as I have now for such rates. If we give these things up now we will never regain them.

I was making the same argument and was even defending the TA based upon the bullet points. When the TA was released it should have been just a matter of reading it and confirming the yes that I had already decided upon. But reading the actual TA was like a bad joke. Substandard pay and regional work rules. Thanks, but no thanks. Section 1 scared the hell out of me and half way through Section 25 I was done and a decided no.
