Good post. I was kinda waffling at first, then I went to a road show. So many myths on APC and whatsap were dispelled, and the more I look at this TA, the more I like it. Big boxes were checked in Pay, pay scale slope, a 12 year scale, LTD, better scope, long call reserve, better sick leave, and a DC. No changes in healthcare. We knew transition conflict would go. $14 in gains for every $1 lost. This is probably the most money we can get at this time.
The only thing that bugs me is no reserve drops after PBS implementation. But the substantial gains totally outweigh that. I'm a solid yes.
