There are other reasons I’m voting no (scope, no raise in training pay, pay in general). But the roadshow didn’t change my mind, maybe there wasn’t enough kool-aid at the one I went to, or maybe this is my 3+ contract negotiation in almost 20 years and I refuse to buy what they are selling, and I refuse to pull the ladder up behind me.

You might be tired of it, but it's good advice. Many have changed their minds on this TA based on the road shows. You haven't, and that's fine but at least you are making a much more informed decision. Plus I believe the group as a whole will not turn down a 43% average increase, the greatly improved LTD, and the DC, so you will better know what is in the contract and how to maximize it for you.
I think it's great to know what the NC and ALPA lawyers think and if we vote no if would get a lot more money (very doubtful since the viability of the company comes into question), if the scope would improve (not unless we fire Art and hire Qotsaautopilot), and if we could get another contract quickly (unknown, but the NMB has other priorities so it could be years).
