How long is it going to take to reach TA2?
What exactly do we want changed in TA2?
How do we prioritize the changes in TA2?
What are you willing to give up in negotiating TA2?
What if the economy goes into a recession?
What if the company decides to play hardball with us and refuses to go back to the table?
What if a merger with Spirit is happening soon and we end up having to engage in a joint collective bargaining agreement? Pushing our TA back significantly?

I'm playing devil's advocate here of course. Honestly, I dont think we need to be going over the details of this deal anymore. We have a simple yes or no choice, and we need to discuss what happens if we vote no. We all know what this TA includes. The question is, is pushing this back a year the best financial decision? Is falling behind another $50 or 60 grand ever going to pay off?

Personally, I don't think so. I calculated that if this deal takes 17 months to reach (same as the last TA voted down took), I'll fall behind by $99,000.......That's an awful lot to make up in TA2
