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.
Not a single airline gave 3 mos between announcing a TA and voting ending. Thats excessive and unnecessary. With proper education material and a month of road shows…30-60 days is more than plenty. Pretty sure voting period only needs to be 14 days…majority will vote in the first 2.
