As soon as they hit that, the deal is done and over with, and both sides can move on and stop spending time and money negotiating. That's the whole point. 50.1% is the goal. I may vote yes. I don't know yet. But I can say that based on the bullet points, this falls short. And if this fails, I would hope the NC/MEC would get together, get some feedback from the line (via hopefully better surveys than the last 2), find out a few non-starter issues (rates and raises for me), go back to the company, offer it up, get a new AIP with a few updates, and bam, done. No need for additional road shows, no need for a long period of time. If the data is there, the fixes are there, a lot of us leaning no now will change to yes, and it can wrap up.
Like I said, I don't agree with you, but this is where reasonable people can disagree as to what happens next.
I'm not saying that what you're saying is impossible, just that I won't be advocating for the path you've outlined if the TA is rejected.
As for me, I look forward to reading the actual TA language. If section 1 isn't where I think it should be, I won't be reading the remainder of the TA because it doesn't matter. I've already had 10 years of my career ruined because of RJ's, I don't intend on being at an airline where that cycle continues.
