Thanks for that. Hadn't seen it yet. Its a good calculator, I feel some of the verbiage used is worded in such a way as to suggest a yes vote. It is a bit more positive in how it displays TA1 vs how it suggests the downfalls of TA2.

Either way, it reaffirms my belief that TA2 is worth it even in the short term. But ESPECIALLY in the long term. Starting it out with 12 months to reach 5% though?? 5% still doesn't bring us up to industry average. So again that's not enough.

Like stated though this calculator is ONLY looking at rates, there are many other things to consider besides just rates. Ok it assumes 80hr months...how many days do I have to work to reach those 80 hrs, that could be very different under different contracts.
