Big mistakes were made in the process as well. I don't know about you, but I'd like the chance at not being bottom of the industry forever.
How do you know for sure that we got played? It’s your opinion. No one knows for sure except the company whether or not they had another TA ready and waiting to go but I feel it would have been a longer and more drawn out process if it got voted down. I also don’t think if we voted it down the company would have given much, if anything back. I can guarantee they didn’t have another similar TA with delta rates, line bidding, and reserve drops ready and waiting to go.
I think most understood it probably wasn’t the absolute best we could get but I think most who were on the fence that voted yes felt it was better to lock this down now rather than risk working under the old rates and contract for who knows how long and risk another 9/11 or the economy crashing while we were fighting for an extra few more dollars an hour.
