So you want to vote it down and negotiate for a new TA that doesn't have much language changed? So basically current book + delta rates, 15%DC, own occupation LTD and southwest scope? Your other option is to vote it down and plan on no new TA. Because the one thing that is completely unrealistic is industry standard pay, retirement, scope, with no changes to section 25 and no pbs.
I mean, a new contract is going to have a lot of new language, so what exactly is your point?
