Enough to outvote everyone else because of this specific issue, especially with other soft pay nuggets in a new TA? I just don’t think so.

More likely, such a split proposal doesn’t make it past the NC or the MEC vote, and never gets to us for ratification. I think a split has a pretty decent chance with the membership, but only if it’s clear that the WBFO scale was not negatively impacted by the increase in NBCA rate.
