This TA doesn’t fix any of that, sure it raises first year pay but most of the rest of the years pay even with the raise aren’t industry standard, or even non-legacy rates (JB and AK). So yes folks can want the best for this place and vote no. If people leave that’s on the company to fix (or send a TA out that would actually fix the attrition problem).
As a new hire myself and talking with most of my peers, this TA would would make it hard for them to consider leaving. Most of us came here for the scheduling system as line holders and this TA would slow the bleeding significantly opposed to the ladder which would include a possible mass exodus of pilots. I want the best for this place too because I chose to be here. On the other hand, as considerate as you may be, you should rejoice that over 20% of the pilot roster is not eligible to vote.
