Preach. I sent the following to my rep.

"I wanted to offer my short analysis and also assesment of where we are as a post 2015 new-hire demographic.

1. The MEC set three limited objectives for this negotiation. One of those was "industry leading hourly payrates." If the payrates are less than Delta then they did not achieve our goals. Send it back.

2. Other carriers (Delta/American) were bailed out by the government and took major revenue hits over the past three years. They managed to achieve TA's without any concessions. If this TA contains concessions then send it back.

The MEC needs to understand that this is not the pilot group of 2015. We will not hesitate to vote down a TA if it fails to obtain our limited objectives for this TA, especially considering the financial success of the company over the last few years. Having the MEC aporove a TA that does not meet the limited objectives with the expectation this crew force will approve it would be a serious miscalculation of the current crew force.

If it doesn't meet the bullet points above, the best route is for the MEC to send it back. This maintains pilot unity and also allows us to expeditiously continue towards RLA legal self help options.

However, if it doesn't meet the two objectives above and is ultimately approved by the MEC then expect the crew force to send it back.
