Expect an uptick in attrition as reality sets in for the folks who stuck around to in the hopes for pay and QOL improvements from this TA and they decide to leave.
I honestly don't think anything is going to change. The status quo will continue on as normal. People talk a lot on the line and complain, but little doggies can bark all day long however if there is no bite then the company won't care. I really don't see attrition increasing as a result of the "no" vote. Most pilots here are sold on the idea of "I'll just deal with all the PDT shinanigans until I flow" mentality. The only way I see it getting better for the pilot group is if PDT is unable to fill new hire classes and if the current pilot group stops picking up all the open flying. Money talks, if PDT is forced to cancel flights due to not having crews then that will set off alarms higher up that something needs to change. But if all the open time continues to be picked up then why would management care about us at all? I.e. status quo as usual. Just my 2 cents for what it's worth.
