All that aside, VOTE NO!
We can do better.
So you agree that we will always trail our peers because of this TA though, right? When I say precedent, my point is that we will have to convince a mediator why we shouldn't ask for our current slot next time as well and why it will be incrementally more difficult to as for a near-Legacy contract. I'm not talking precedent in the legal term, or something that an arbitrator would use for legal decision making. I only use that term in reference to where we are slotting ourselves, and most likely for future negotiations.
