I think that would be a huge mistake. The road show process and "commenting period" is crucial to unearthing the little bits and pieces hidden in there. I think TA1 would have passed last go if there would have been an accelerated process.
Look at little things and language that has gotten past the NC and members:
irregular ops - how is this still a thing?
open time giveaway rule that we did to ourselves that has become a restrictive mess that went way beyond its original intent and eventually had to go to arbitration
sick time accumulation on premium trips...has personally cost me tens of thousands of dollars.
I could go on and on. 3 months is about the right amount of time between a finished TA and a ratified deal.
