I get that if there is a TA then everyone can vote. But why not do a separate one a few weeks later in this specific case for that specific reason? Especially when it could easily make the difference? We're always going to have some amount of age 64 pilots. But the percentage of their retiring dispatchers over just a month or so who could tank a deal that the majority of the rest would want seems like a really silly way to time it.
