Do you mean the overall weakness of the TA?

So then, nuance? The TA is a turd and needs to be flushed. That said, I’m senior enough that I’ll never be on reserve again unless the majority of our wide body fleet is parked (read triple digits). Will reserve rules affect me directly - no.

I won’t be around long enough to see the scope erosion play out either. But this TA announces loud and clear that United pilots are giving up their exclusive right to “company flying and training”. It will only get worse - just look back at how the RJ Exception letter of 1998 was exploited in subsequent contracts. The original letter was fairly innocuous, but look at all those RJs around the system today.

Neither of these will affect me directly, and all I’m doing by voting no is to walk away from a pay bump. However, this vote shouldn’t be purely about self interest, but at least partially about the profession. In that context, the answer is easy - NO.
