I was hired well before this announcement and almost to a year on property. Other airlines started significant pay increases after I was hired. This TA was later introduced and I along with my peers agreed that this would stop us from leaving to other competitors like Delta, AA or United. This is an evolving industry and for now this TA would simply keep me interested in staying just as back when the scheduling system kept me interested in staying. Stone me for having my opinion, it’s the reason why most “yes” voters steer clear of these forums.
