Here are all the bad reasons to vote yes that I keep hearing:
It's better than what we have
We need scope protection now
We need merger protection now
We are leaving too much on the table if we drag it out
This is the best we can get
We don't have any negotiating capital left...summer will be over
We can't get much more; it isn't worth it.
We will have to start over from scratch
We will need a new NC
We will need a new MEC
The company doesn't need this, they will drag it out longer
If we ratify this now, we will get a big airplane order
The MEC unanimously approved it
Good reason to vote yes:
The totality of the TA, with full language (TBD), is market rate and satisfactory to one's expectations and self-worth as a major airline pilot.
