As an outsider it seems that extending the vote without improving the deal is just delaying the inevitable and further raising the burden on Retro pay.

From town hall: The letter was a result of a discussion between the Master Chair and the CEO. The SVP who wrote the letter was the messenger.
The real information in the letter was that they wouldn't sue the union or seek TRO or run to the NMB if we suspended or delayed voting for 3 months while asking for more.
Anyway, when someone offers more its probably a good idea to see 'how much more' especially when they have to come back in 90 days vs the 8mo-1y to start over would take...
