In this time we wouldn’t have regional feed and would most likely have achieved TA2. As you said, we can argue the merits of the entire CBA ad nauseum. But you don’t vote yes over one section, or over fear. Everyone should have simply voted over whether or not the CBA has a high enough overall value to warrant a yes vote. And if your mil comment was directed at me, I was at a bottom feeder regional working under a bankruptcy contract. I am a fierce advocate of scope. But I’m also not going to vote on a substandard CBA because of scope, when the fear being spread by N8 was unfounded and part of his agenda to get his baby approved.
