The answer to this question will give you a good idea of what's ahead for us.
I can tell you what happened over at Delta:
When we saw how bad it was in 2015, we started a grass-roots campaign to get the word out on social media to counter the over $1.5M sales job effort from our own union. We literally had an entire committee of guys in black polos (union thugs) intercepting layover crews worldwide to spread the gospel about the TA, and how we would never get a better deal.
The TA failed (thank God), and our MEC Chairman resigned. The rest of the MEC had to be culled through the normal election process. It took us another 9 mos to get a TA, and it was still concessionary in some aspects, but not near as bad as the original.
I can tell you, we, the rest of the ALPA pilots around the country, are praying to God you guys flush this turd hard.
One other thing; All ALPA pilots need to push for a change in the bylaws wrt ALPA National President pay. There is only ONE single pilot in this entire country that will get paid an A380 rate, and that's the next ALPA President.
That's absurd.
