Are you suggesting it won't pass as is? There is risk in negotiating further and everyone that would vote yes understands that further negotiating COULD result in a better contract. It is a valid position to keep negotiating, it all comes down to your appetite for risk (or your understanding of macroeconomics).

We could keep negotiating until the very last person is satisfied, but the system is set up to only negotiate until 50%+1 are satisfied. There is a place in our career field for those who want to do solo negotiating and that is the top of the corporate pilot world. You can be a free agent and fly for Taylor Swift or some king in the middle east and negotiate your own ludicrous contract if you are such a bad-ass pilot. It is disgusting to withhold a TA from the pilot group that would overwhelmingly be approved so you can get some stupid addition so you feel cool like a Delta pilot.
