Also keep in mind that the large RJ's are where the growth is, and that 200's and ATR's are not.

ASA pilots on the 200 and ATR need to stand unified on this issue and vote no on the TA. Even if you are not willing to stand up for your own brothers and sisters on the 700, realize from a selfish point of view that if you vote no, the TA can ONLY GET BETTER!

One of the most basic rules of negotiating is to never accept the first offer.
