I voted NO because it is the most responsible thing to do. No one is putting a gun to our head to sign right now. We can vote this thing down, fix the language, then vote Yes. I care about my fellow pilots and this profession. I'm not going to be fear-mongered into voting for sub-standard contracts just because of speculation or some emotional decision. This is a business deal and I'll only sign on to a good deal. This isn't.
Something worth doing, is worth doing well. I don't like to half-a$$ things and I could not in good conscious, and due diligence, accept this substandard TA.
Remember it took 3 tries to get ALPA here.
Is it possible that accepting the first offer could be a bad decision?
