I agree. Things like this Should be part of your decision process. Giving up a raise of $65K+/year, giving up great LTD, risking going with our much less substantial scope, and not having a substantial DC for however long it takes needs to be factored in to everyone's decision.
If you believe the NC, they are all of one mind that we wouldn't get much more by turning this down, we could wait a looooong time, and may have to give up more.
Some guys are upset about losing transition, or checkerboard reserve, or other things. Even if we turn down the TA, those things are almost certainly gone with the next TA, so what will you have gained?
I hope everyone who voted no at least saw a road show. You are doing yourself and the pilot group a disservice if you didn't.
